Prepare Those Phones!
Gathering Activity
Materials:
Phone templates – copied onto cardstock – 1 phone per Cub Scout
Scissors
Markers/crayons
Using scissors, Cub Scouts need to cut out the cardstock phone.
With crayons or markers, the Cub Scouts need to color the phone, add the
numbers to dial, etc.
Have them write their name on the phone somewhere.
Cub Scouts will be using the phones as part of an activity later.
Season of Lights Opening
Cubmaster:
This is the season of lights. It is a time when the days are
shorter and the nights are longer and sometimes cold. But,
somehow, things seem brighter. Shopping centers are bright
with holiday lights. Many homes have lights to light the way
for the Christ Child. Others have candles burning to commemorate
the miracle of the oils of Hanukkah. Even the stars in the winter sky
seem brighter.
The most brilliant light comes from the Cub Scouts as
they live the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack.
Let us all stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance, the
Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack.
Paper Bag Snowman
Materials:
White paper bags (2 for each Cub Scout)
Newspaper or other paper to stuff inside one of the bags
Markers or crayons
Yarn pieces to tie around the middle of the bag (12”-18”)
Construction paper (several sheets per den of Cub
Scouts)
Glue
Scissors
Directions:
1. Ball up newspaper or other paper and stuff it into one of the white bags.
2. When the bag is full of paper, take the empty bag and pull it over the stuffed
bag so that the bottom ends of each bag are now at the top and bottom of the
snowman.
3. Wrap the pre-cut pieces of yarn tightly around the middle of the bags (or below
where the head would be) to form the top and the bottom sections of the
snowman.
4. With markers/crayons, construction paper and glue, decorate the face and
body features of the snowman.
Tell It Like It Isn’t
Materials:
Page of phrases for Cub Scouts to say
As we talk to other people and listen to other people we
don’t always hear things correctly. Sometimes what we
hear may not be the original message either. This can be what happens when
people talk about something or someone and don’t know the entire story.
Directions:
1. Have the Cub Scouts sit in a circle.
2. The first Cub Scout whispers a phrase from the suggested phrases list in the
second Cub Scout’s ear.
3. The second Cub Scout whispers what he thinks he heard in the next Cub Scout’s
ear.
4. This continues around the circle until it is whispered to the last Cub Scout. He
says what he heard out loud to everyone.
5. The first Cub Scout says what the phrase really was.
Continue with a few additional phrases, letting somebody different go first each
time.
Tell It Like It Isn’t
Phrases to use
Do your best.
