Two paper cups of the same size
White craft paper
Brown paint and paintbrush
Gold washi tape
Golden beads
Thick colored yarn
Black marker
Rhinestone embellishments

2. Use the open end of the paper cup as a stencil to draw two circles on the white craft paper. Cut them out and color in two black circles using the marker.

3. Once the cups are completely dry, stick the bottoms together with craft glue.

4. Now stick the two circles on either open end of the paper cups.

5. Thread the colored yarn through the golden beads and knot it at the ends. Tie the yarn around the middle of the damru, so that the part where the cups are joined is not visible.

How good is your memory?
08 Sep 17:40 10 Game : Going on camp

The first Cub starts by saying, "I'm going on camp and I am packing my backpack. I am taking my...."

The Cub chooses something they will pack.  The next Cub repeats the sentence and adds one more item.  This continues around the circle until someone can't remember all the items.  They can help if someone gets stuck or it can be played as a knock out game until only one person remains.

Song

Work in your sixes to make up a song that you can sing, using your damru that you made to keep the beat. 

(Give a theme or use another song's tune to help the Cubs if they are struggling).
