1. A person starts out as the Giant and stands at the end of a field. Everyone else playing stands at the far end (distance depends upon playing area selected). The object of the game is for a Cub to tag the Giant thereby becoming the Giant and resetting the game.
2. The Giant turns their back to the field, and the Cubs attempt to race across and tag the Giant.
3. Whenever the Giant turns around, the Cubs must freeze in position and hold that for as long as the Giant looks at them. The Giant can even walk around the Cubs, examining them. However, the Giant needs to be careful – whenever his back is turned, Cubs are free to move.
4. If a Cub is caught moving, they are sent back to the starting line to begin again (or thrown out of that round, whichever way is preferred.).

Muffins

Eggs

Ham/Cheese

Spatulas

Frying pans

Charcoal

Firelighters

Matches

Oil/Spray and cook

Grill

Paper plates

Cubs to first build fires.  Have kindling, etc. on hand if time is limited.  Add charcoal once fires started.

Once fires ready, Cubs to follow the recipe:

Recipe Ingredients:

(per cub)

• one muffin

• one egg (veggie patty for vegan Cub)
  

• one slice ham / one slice cheese

• butter, salt & pepper

This is a very simple recipe that only uses a campfire, frying pan and spatula, a fork to split the muffins, and a knife if you need to slice the cheese.
 
Instructions:

The eggs are fried as hard eggs, so be sure to break the yolks when you fry them

Melt the cheese by placing it on the eggs as soon as you turn them

If you are using a campfire grate or charcoal grill, just lay the muffins on the grill, and turn once, to toast both sides – then butter the inside of each half

You can also toast the muffins in a frying pan – just make sure it is already hot, and butter the muffins before you toast them

Cubs to sit with their eyes closed and listen to the sounds.  Choose sounds related to the theme.

Play 10 to 15 sounds

Cubs to try and remember all the sounds afterwards

Place a selection of staves on the ground randomly (like a dropped set of pick-up-sticks).

Cubs to work in pairs to move one stick at a time off the pile without disturbing the rest.  If the other sticks move whilst they are moving the first stick, the next pair goes.  Pair with the most sticks at the end wins.

Equipment:

-        6 to 8 White boards

-        6 to 8 markers (different colours)

-        Tissues/wetwipes to clean boards

-        Name at top of each board (printed/cellotaped

-        Card with Cub’s screen name and name of all the others (up to 8) (laminated)

-        One Cub is instructed to be a bully on his/her card

-        One Cub is instructed to lie about himself/herself and pretend to be another Cub

-        Flipchart for rules and for discussion after

-        Helpers to assist younger Cubs with writing messages

Instructions to Cubs (before we start) (5 minutes)

Each Cub will get a card.

·       At the top is the Cub’s “screen name”  (Explain what a screen name is)

·       Below is all the other people who are online that you can chat to

·       Your job is to try and find out who each person actually is

·       Your board will have your screen name at the top

·       You first need to address your message (who are you sending to)

·       Then write your message/question.

·       If you receive a message, you write your answer below.

·       Hold your board above your head when ready and Akela will deliver it for you

·       Once you have received a reply, rub out the

Note:  Each person can also be given a label on their back so that Akela/helpers know who is who.

Rules:

·       You can’t ask or give your real name

·       You can’t face each other

·       No talking

How to Play (10 minutes):

·       Cubs sit in a circle (large so they can’t see each other’s boards), backs facing in so that they can’t see each other

·       They are each given the card with their screen name and that of the others that are online.

·       They are given a white board and marker for writing messages.  Each board is marked with the person’s name at the top so we know who it belongs to

·       Each Cub is given a marker to write with – each can be a different colour so it is easy to tell message and answer apart

·       They can wipe out messages once read and then write a new message – to the same person or someone else.

·       Keep sending messages until the time is up.

·       Cubs to fill in on the card who they think each person is

Debrief (5 minutes):

·       Cubs to come back together and asked if they know who each person is. 

·       Write up screen names on flipchart and then see if each can guess.  See how many they got right.  Did someone mislead them and make them think he/she was someone else?

·       Now discuss how easy it was for a stranger to have pretended to be a friend and look at the information he/she could have got – where you live, what you like to do, sports you play, where you go to school – all of this can be used to find you (use examples of the messages sent and received).

·       Relate back to social media, online gaming, Whats App, etc.

·       Now, ask if they found someone to be very rude/horrible.

·       What did they do?

·       What could theydo?
