Capital Area Council
Slips of paper are marked with one of the following
words: CAR, TUGBOAT, JETPLANE, TRAIN, BICYCLE BELL, or HELICOPTER.
Each person is given a slip of paper as they arrive at the pack
meeting. On signal, everyone hunts for the rest of his group by
making the sound that corresponds to the form of transportation on
his slip. No talking is allowed! Each group must continue making its
sound until time is called (When most people seem to have found
their group). Then, have group members introduce themselves to one
another. Each group, as a group, must make its sound for the rest of
the groups, who try to guess what their vehicle is.
Name That Tree
This is a wooded outdoor activity, but if you're
stuck inside or away from the trees, improvise by having leaf and
limb samples for folks to use. Select as many different kinds of
trees as possible in the area and label each one with a number on an
index card. (Tie the index card around the tree.) Give each person a
sheet with the names of the different trees that you have labeled.
Send the folks out into the "forest" to match the trees
and the names.
