Description

Tell the Beavers a little about the Tour de France and the jumpers worn.

Resources

Pictures of jumpers.
Copies of the blank jersey - one per Beaver.
Felt tip pens.

Instructions

Information: -
The Tour de France is a cycle race lasting 3 weeks. It starts on 26th June this year (2021).
Each day has a start and finish point and there are 2 rest days.
In 2021 the race is in France. Many years it is in other countries too.
In 2014 part of it was in England and started in Leeds.
In the Tour de France there are special jumpers which are won each day.
The yellow jersey - the fastest cyclist so far on all the days completed. (Times for each day added up.)
The green jersey - best sprinter (fastest on the flat bits where you can really go fast!).
White jersey - best rider under age 26.
Polka dot jersey - best climber (lots of the Tour de France is up mountains).

Corners game: -
Have pictures of each jersey in 4 corners of the room.
Beavers choose a corner.
A leader with their back turned calls out a jumper colour and what it is e.g. yellow - fastest cyclist.
All Beavers at that corner sit to one side.
Continue until 1 or 2 winners left.
Repeat a few times.

Design a jersey: -
Give each Beaver a copy of the blank jersey and encourage them to decorate it as a winner's jersey in a cycle race.
We put this in during Covid times as an alternative to corners but could be used in normal times too.
