The person leading the game should ask everyone what they know about endangered animals. Everyone should try to explain what it means to be endangered, and share some examples of animals that are endangered.
The person leading the game should explain what endangered animals are, and introduce the tiger, amur leopard, mountain gorilla, and polar bear.
The person leading the game should give everyone an animal —tiger, amur leopard, mountain gorilla, or polar bear.
Each animal group should get together. Everyone acting like the animal they’ve been given is one way people could find the other members of their animal group.
Each animal group should go to the table with the things they need to make their mask.

If completing via virtual Scouting
- Explore what children already know about endangered animals. Why are these animals endangered? What countries do they originate from?
- Challenge your young people to go and make their masks during the upcoming week, and find five fun facts about their endangered animal.
- These masks and facts can then be shared via virtual scouting the following week. Make it fun, with animal noises and action games.
