Description

Find out about Beaver Scouts, or younger Scouts if they don't have beaver scouts, in another country. What do they call themselves? What is their uniform like? And what do they say for their promise? Find out as much as you can

Resources

Print the ‘Global Beaver Scouts puzzle pieces’ onto card or thick paper.
Alternatively, print them onto paper and then stick onto card.
Cut the sheets into pieces, like a jigsaw puzzle. Think about how many people will be in each team, and make sure there are at least enough pieces for everyone to have at least one each.
If you think you’ll need more than four groups, prepare more than four jigsaws—you can just use some countries twice.
Shuffle each jigsaw up, and put them in their separate piles at one end of the space.

Instructions

Play the game
Split into four teams. Each team should line up at the end of the space opposite the jigsaw puzzle piles.
When the person leading the game says ‘go’, the first player in each team should go to their team’s jigsaw puzzle pile. They should pick up a piece and take it back to their team. When they get back, the next person in the line should go.
Everyone should continue collecting the pieces, with the person at the front of line going as soon as the person before them arrives back.
As soon as two people have collected pieces of puzzle, they can start piecing them together. Once each player has collected their puzzle piece, they should help their teammates put the puzzle together.
The last person to go should check that all the pieces have been collected—depending on the size of the team, some people may need to go twice.
Once the puzzle is finished, each group should read to learn more about their country. They should think about what’s similar and what’s different to their experiences.

Share facts
Everyone should gather back together in a circle.
Each group should tell everyone which country they learned about, and some of the things that are the same and different there.
Each group should look at the map, and see if they can find the country they’re talking about.
