Games taken from Scouts Website

Resources

Pens or pencils and Colourful pens (Cubs to provide own)
Shapes and cards (see https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/chase-the-shape/)

Prep:
Print out enough copies of the shape cards. People can play in teams, in pairs, or individually.
Print off one of each shape.
Decide how the leaders will mark off their shape on players’ cards: could they use a stamp, sticker, or coloured pen?
Make sure you have enough helpers for each person to hold one of the shape cards

Instructions

The person leading the game should explain the area and boundaries so everyone knows where they’ll be playing the wide game.
Everyone should split into pairs or teams. The person leading the game should remind everyone to say two metres apart and not share any equipment.

If people want to play on their own, that’s OK too.

Each pair should collect a shape card and pen or pencil.

The leaders with the shape cards and stamps, stickers, or pens should spread out across the wide game area. Once the game begins, they should move around the area.

Each pair should set off to find the leader who’s holding the first shape on their card, remembering to stay two metres away from everyone.

Finding the right leader will probably need a bit of trial and error at first – encourage everyone to keep going and remember what they find out from each person.

Once a pair finds a leader, they should stand two metres away and ask the leader to reveal their shape. If they don’t need the shape next, they should find another leader. If they need the shape, they should ask for the task.

When a pair asks for the task, the leader should give them a short task, for example, ‘find a leaf’ or ‘pretend you’re a bumblebee’. Once the pair’s completed the task, they should put their card on the floor and move backwards so they’re two metres away from the card. The leader should mark off the shape on their card, then step backwards so the pair can collect it.

If you can, avoid touching the card while you’re marking it off. It doesn’t matter if your stamp or symbol is a little messy.

Each pair should work through their card, collecting the shapes in order. The first pair to finish their card is the winner.
