Game:
Part 1:
The Leader calls out two coloured shapes pointing at a team at a time to go find the shape.
The Cubs / Scouts find the shape sit down and when asked give their grid reference. If both are correct then the quickest to find the shape and sit down is the winner.
Part 2:
The Leader calls out a number on the coordinates list and the Cubs / Scouts have to run to the chair with the co-ordinates on, and work out which chair they need to sit on, once there they must call out the colour & shape on that chair, first to do so is the winner.
