Description

Set-up skittles outdoors where Cubs (or Beavers) participate in several courses involving water balloons which builds/develops throwing accuracy

Resources

Water balloons
Water
Skittles
Hula-hoops
Bucket

Instructions

Double bag the water balloons. Insert deflated water balloon inside another deflated water balloon and fill the inner with water before tying. Double bagging the water balloon makes it robust enough not to break easily when rolling

Have several courses set-up around a field with a leader at each course. Cubs are in groups and each get three attempts before the next Cub gets a turn. Keep a tally per group with the highest score being the winning group

Explain the tally system and that each course runs for a set time before moving to the next one. By emphasizing the set time and an overall 'winning team' should make the Cubs work as a team and avoid wasting time/messing around

Also get the Cubs to agree on a team name and give them time to discuss a strategy before starting each course again to promote teamwork , listening skills and feedback at the end how they could improve if they repeated

If time, repeat the course so Cubs have a chance to build on what they learned on the 1st round

Three attempts per team member. Course examples as follows;

1) Hit the skittle - bowling technique
2) Bowl and get inside of a hula-hoop
3) Roll into a bucket
4) Hit stack of beanbags
