Scouting: Relay Games p2
17.8 CHECKER RELAY
You will need:
* 6 wooden checkers playing pieces per patrol
* We often get these given to us at rummage sales
Scouts race up and down the hall in relay fashion, with a pile of 6
checkers balanced on the back of one hand. They are not allowed to
steady the pile with the other hand. The only time they can touch the
checkers with the other hand, is either when they have dropped them
and are picking them up, or when they are transferring the checkers to
another scout in their team.
17.9 CUBS ACROSS THE RIVER
You will need:
* 4 card or carpet tile stepping stones
* three awkward pieces of equipment such as a rucksack, a football
and a hoop, for each six
Line up sixes with their equipment and draw two lines to represent the
river. Lay the stepping stones across the river. Cub 1 carries cub 2
on his back across the river using the stepping stones. Cub 2 comes
back and picks up cub 3 plus a piece of equipment. Cub 3 comes back
and picks up cub 4 plus a piece of equipment and so on until all the
cubs have crossed the river. Those cubs on the bank should be
encouraged to cheer their team on.
17.10 DRIBBLE BALL
You will need:
* 1 ball and several skittles per team or six
Standing in teams, each person in turn dribbles the ball down the line
of skittles slalom fashion, either using their foot, a stick or a
washing up liquid bottle and then straight back to the next man in
their team. If a skittle is knocked over, the player has to return to
the start and begin again.
