Solar System Beetle Drive

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

As Beavers finish their models (encourage them to take long enough to do this), they can join a game of Beetle Drive to draw their own solar system - this can look like ours, or completely different, as long as they follow the rules.


Resources

Paper
Lodge Boxes
Dice

Instructions

1 = sun
2 = planet
3 = rings round a planet (must have planet first)
4 = moon ( a moon has to go round a planet, so must have planet first)
5 = comet
6 = spaceship
Beavers in groups of 4 - 6 take it in turns to roll the dice and draw the item that corresponds to the number.
They have to throw a 1 to start with the sun.
When you start them off on a game, make sure they know what each thing is - they have to have at least one of each thing, but can draw more as long as they throw that number again. The only exception is the sun - there should only be one.
The winner is the person with a complete system (at least 1 of each item)
Collect in drawings at the end.
