One Cub is chosen to be Wolfie, who then stands at one end of the playing area.

The other cubs stand in a line at the other end.

Wolfie turns his back to commence play.

The cubs call out, "Wolfie, Wolfie, What's the time?" and Wolfie turns and answers with a time (i.e. 3 o'clock).

He then turns his back again while the children advance again chanting "Wolfie, Wolfie, What's the time?" To which Wolfie will continue to respond until the cubs come very close.

Once the line of cubs is close to Wolfie, he can respond to the chant with "It's dinner time!" at which point, he will chase the cubs back to the starting line with the aim to catch one of the them, who will then become Wolfie for the next round of the game.

Felt (various colours)

Sewing machine/thread

Alternatively, wool and large needles if sewing by hand

Velcro or buttons to close

Fabric glue for decorations

Rectangular pieces of felt required (cut as needed).  Size will depend on the size bags you want to make.

Fold bottom over, leaving enough that, when folded over the bottom piece, will form an envelope

Sew the sides

Add velcro or button to close

Cut shapes to decorate the bags and glue - eg teeth and eyes to look like monster, hearts, flower shapes, general shapes

Ask for a volunteer to go first. Take out a phrase from the hat and attempt to perform it. The first player to guess the clue correctly, stands up, draws a charades idea from the hat, and then it is their turn to act out a phrase.

Note: If someone is acting out a clue you wrote down (if you played with the paper method), once you realize they are acting out your clue, don't shout out the answer, and instead, stop playing.

How to Act Out a Charades Phrase

When acting out a clue, a player must get the other players to guess what phrase they have without making any sounds, or saying any words.

Normally, when a player starts to act out a clue, he/she/it should start by indicating how many words the phrase is, and then acting out each word at a time. You indicate to the other players how many words are in the phrase is by holding up fingers. If the phrase is, 'Fly Me To the Moon', you would hold up 5 fingers, to indicate 5 words. The players who are guessing should respond by saying the number of words aloud, "5 words". Next, if the player wants to act out the first word of the phrase 'Fly', then the player should hold up 1 finger, to indicate they want to act out the first word. The players who are guessing should respond by saying '1st word'.

The player can help push the guessers into the right direction by using some standard gestures for categories.

• Book - Unfold your hands as if they were a book.
• Movie - Pretend to crank an old-fashioned movie camera.
• Play - Pretend to pull the rope that opens a theater curtain.
• Song - Pretend to sing. (but don't make any noise!!)
• TV - Draw a rectangle to outline the TV screen.
• Quote or Phrase: Make quotation marks in the air with your fingers.

Foam

Laces

Number cards (printed on card or stuck to card)

Pritt

Ice cream sticks

Paint

Velcro dots

Puzzle template

Puzzle pictures

Foam lacing shapes:

• Sheet of foam in various colors (cardboard also works if you are in a pinch!)
• Laces – Either a shoe lace or special lacing pack with the ends in plastic for easy threading.
• Shapes of your choice or you can freehand it.
• Pen, scissors and a hole punch.

Select a shape and trace it on your foam. (Can use large biscuit cutters).

Make as many shapes as you want and cut them out.  Use your hole punch to make holes for the laces around the edges. Try not to get too close to the edge because your foam will tear with the force of lacing if you do.

Velcro sticks:

• Craft sticks –can be painted different colours
  
• Velcro dots

Attach velcro dots to every end of the jumbo popsicle stick making sure that you use the same kind of dot on the same side and the other for the other side.

Match and count number cards:

Cards printed on cardboard

Cubs to cut out and paste on cardboard if not printed on card

Step 1:

To start building your game you need to first need to decide what kind of board game you want to build.

With the immense number of board games out there, this task does seem a little daunting. However it is not impossible.

Wikipedia has a list of every board game that currently exists. Looking at this list for inspiration you can create your own board game and even develop your own unique set of rules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_board_games
