Description

Cubs steal the eggs from the opponents nests whilst ensuring they don't loose their ribbons (lives)

Resources

This wide game is designed to be played in a large field. Create two “nests” (e.g. 5m coned off area) at either end of the field with 5 “eggs” (e.g. plastic balls) in the middle of the nest and a “prison” (e.g. 5m coned off area) in the middle of the field. Define a boundary to the playing area that is the size of a football pitch or similar. Split the cubs into 2 teams and attach a ribbon to their backs with a peg so it comes off easily – this is their life. Each team has a different coloured ribbon and starts the game near their own nest.

Instructions

• An attacking team can only enter the opposing teams nest to steal an egg if they are in a group of 3 or more. Once a cub is in the nest their lives/ribbons can’t be taken. One attack can only take one egg and the egg needs to be returned to their own nest.
• If a ribbon is taken from a cub they lose a life. Both cubs walk to the prison where a leader takes the ribbon and attaches a new ribbon to their back but with a different colour so they return to the game on the opposing team.
• If one of the sides only has 1 or 2 people left in play then they need to steal a life from the opposing team so they can return to a full attacking team of 3 again.
• No pushing, shoving etc is allowed. If this is seen by a leader the cub goes to prison to cool off for a couple of mins.
