| 22 Aug 17:35 | 10 | Game : Steal the Bacon |
Two teams line up facing each other with a large space between them. In the middle of the two teams an object is placed that represents the “bacon”. Each team captain gives each of her team members a number. Then the captains from each team take turns calling out numbers. The two players (one from each team) whose number was called advance to the “bacon.” Each player tries to steal the “bacon” without being tagged by the opposing player. When the “bacon” is successfully stolen, one point is earned for that team. When a player tags the opposing player with the “bacon” before she reaches her team another point is earned. |

| 22 Aug 17:45 | 20 | Activities : Mapping Mohenjo-Daro | Paper or chalk or boxes or lego |
Hand out large grid paper (or chalk outside). Each team receives “clues” about where to place features of an Indus Valley city (e.g., The Great Bath is in the center, the granary is near the river, houses are in rows). Cubs work together to draw or build a map of an Indus Valley city. Variation: Use Lego/blocks for 3D building. The city was divided into two parts: the Citadel (for administrative and religious purposes) and the Lower Town (residential area). Streets were laid out in a grid pattern, intersecting at right angles. Houses were made of standardized baked bricks and had private wells and bathrooms. Great Bath: One of the most iconic structures at Mohenjo-Daro. It was a large, rectangular tank made of baked bricks and waterproofed with bitumen. Likely used for ritual bathing or religious ceremonies. Drainage System: Mohenjo-Daro had an advanced underground drainage system with covered drains. Each house was connected to the main drainage system, ensuring proper sanitation. Granaries: Large granaries have been discovered, indicating the importance of agriculture and food storage. |

| 22 Aug 18:45 | 0 | Game : Band-Aid Tag |
There is no "it" in this tag game! All Cubs can tag and be tagged. When a Cub is tagged, they put a hand on the spot where they were tagged—that's the "Band-Aid." Then, they can keep playing, using their free hand to tag others. If they get tagged again, they'll need to use their other hand as a second Band-Aid, but they can still keep playing! A third tag sends them to the "hospital" (a designated spot near the playing area). Once there, they can perform a predetermined action, such as hopping on one foot for a count of 10, to heal their wounds and then return to the game.
