Resources

3x Disposable cups per beaver (quarantined beforehand to be covid safe)
Water
A bowl
Cones (social distancing markers)
Table

Instructions

SETUP:
1. Setup a table with three cups at each end; the one furthest left 3/4 full of water (have a jug of water ready for refills!).
2. Next to the cups place an empty bowl.
3. Setup social distancing markers for two teams forming a queue behind each side of the table, for the two teams.

RUNNING:
1. Split your beavers into teams (more beavers may need more teams), and ask them to stand on the cones.
2. Have a leader each end to supervise.
3. Call one beaver from each team forward (the rest of the team can be cheering on)
4. The beaver must not use their hands, and tip the water from cup 1 into cup 2, from cup 2 into cup 3, and then using their hands tip whatever water they manage to keep in cup 3, into the bowl.
5. This same beaver may repeat this a couple of times depending on time.
6. Ask the beaver to place their cups in the bin, and then join the back of the queue, call the next beaver in the team froward and repeat, with new cups and water!!

The winning team is whichever team has the most water in their bowl at the end.

Note: Towels are recommended on the floor!!!
