Description

Multiple choice quiz for Cubs to work out which Scot invented / discovered some items that made a huge difference in the world..


Resources

Powerpoint slides - Pre-printed and cut in half
Sticky tape / string etc. to attach questions to walls, tie to trees etc.
Pencil and paper per pair / group of Cubs
Answer sheet for leaders

Instructions

Hide the 12 questions around your meeting place in advance, indoors or outdoors.
I read the article on this link: https://sites.google.com/site/scottishthoughts/englishman-s-nightmare just after the grand howl, then played a variation of NSEW with Scottish cities and other related actions.
Tell the Cubs they need to write down the name of each object and the person who invented / discovered it. You'll find out how many were listening at the start! If running as a six competition, sixers could plan strategy (split or stay together), decide on final answer if any disagreement etc.
For scouts maybe try without the benefit of the article being read at the start.
