Description

Tempt Cubs (or Beavers or Scouts) with Skittles to see if they can tie in their promise and law to real world actions.

Resources

A large bag of Skittles (they have 5 colours for the sweets which is perfect) but you can adapt this for any sweets.

A copy of the promise printed in colours that match the sweets (skittles colours attached).

Easily adapted for other sections.

Instructions

The Cubs sit in a circle.

A Cub selects a Skittle without looking.

Depending on what colour the skittle is the Cub gets asked a question about the Promise. All questions should include a recent time frame eg. this week, today.

Green - Ask how the Cub did their best today / yesterday / this week

Yellow - Ask how they have served their god or upheld Scout values today / yesterday / this week

Red - Ask how they have shown duty to the Queen today / yesterday / this week

Orange - Ask how they have helped another person today / yesterday / this week

Purple - Ask how they have done a good turn or thought of others before themselves today / yesterday / this week

If the leader thinks the answer is a good one the Cub gets to eat the Skittle. If the Cub cannot think of an answer, or the answer is not very good or has been given before by a different Cub the leader gets to eat the skittle. (It therefore gets harder as you go round as the Cubs cannot re-use answers).



The one my Cubs struggle with is duty to the Queen - we allow saluting the flag at flag break, bowing our head at flag down, singing the National Anthem and then beyond that I ask them to think of it as community based, so picking up litter would count.
