Instructions | Ask the cubs to think of a time when they were left out (excluded) - a friend did invite them to a party, they weren't picked for the sport team, the teacher ignored them in class, mom bought your brother something and not you.... (just think, don't have to tell us) How did it make you feel? Think of the word. Now, go and introduce yourself to as many of the Cubs as possible using that word. (Leader to demonstrate - walk up to someone, shake their hand and say "hi, I'm angry") Let them go around for a while then call the Cubs back. Ask them to tell you the words they heard - write up on board/paper Can then ask them how you behave when you feel like that (eg. if I am angry, I shout...) and write these up next to the words
Ask the Cubs to give you those words and write them up as a second list. Can ask them how you behave when you feel like that (eg. if I am happy, I smile).. write up next to the words Ask the Cubs which Cub Group they would rather be part of. No-one likes being left out. It hurts.. the same as if you have been hit. Ask Cubs what we can do to make sure everyone is included? |
