Description

Beavers/Cubs have to build a free standing tower as tall as themselves from whatever materials they can find in their home.
Zoom meeting activity.

Resources

Anything in your home you can balance into a tower - Beavers in my section used toys, kitchen stuff (table, colander, packets, satsuma..., cushions on a chair (wobbled and fell over just as I counted down the last few seconds - very entertaining!), boxes, books... it depended what room they were in for the zoom meeting.

Instructions

Tell the Beavers/Cubs their challenge is to build a tower as tall as themselves that will stay up by itself.
The tower needs to be built where it can be seen on the zoom screen.

They can use anything that they can carry to build their tower BUT nothing breakable - no glass, china or valuables eg tv, computer and NO HEAVY OBJECTS ABOVE WAIST HEIGHT.

Suggest some objects they might use, give them a time frame - 5 minutes to begin, you can always give an extra couple of minutes if needed. Give time warning near the end and count down - then the Beavers/Cubs stand next to their tower.

Admire all the towers and the next activity is to tidy it all away before continuing the meeting.
