CUBS – Coming In Games
|
||||
Coming In Games
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
These games are from the “Fun and Games for Cubs” book written by Jack Dowling and first printed by The
|
||||
Scout Association of New Zealand in 1972 and “Fun and Games 2” for all sections, edited by Diana Balham in
|
||||
1987. The games have been updated and sorted into categories, with this category being ‘Coming In’ games
|
||||
played when the Cubs arrive before the meeting starts. The games are listed alphabetically.
|
||||
If you have a favourite ‘coming in’ game you would like to share with other leaders, please forward the game
|
||||
instructions to the National Cub Leader care of reception@scouts.org.nz so it can be added to this document
|
||||
and the website updated.

||||
Each Cub gets three cards.
|
||||
When all the cards are thrown, gather them up and start again.

|
||||
Before the meeting starts, have everyone gather around each photo and tell the leader who
|
||||
they think it is.
|
||||

||||

Find the Beans
|
||||
Equipment

As the Cubs arrive they are told to join their Six and help find and collect the beans.
|
||||
The aim is to see which Six can collect the most beans.

Four Square

||||
Equipment
|
||||
Chalk

||||
Soccer ball
|
||||
Method
|
||||
Mark out four squares about 2 metres on each side so they make up one large square with 4
|
||||
squares inside it numbered 1 to 4.
|
||||
Place a Cub in each square. One is designated as the King and is in square 4.
|
||||
The King starts the game by bouncing the ball once and then hitting it into one of the other
|
||||
three squares using both hands as in volleyball.
|
||||
The Cubs in those squares try and hit it to another square. (No catching the ball).
|
||||
If the ball misses the square and or goes outside the big square, the hitter is out.
|
||||
Everyone one steps up a square and a new Cub joins at square one.
|
||||
Keep Away

||||
Equipment
|
||||
One beach ball or similar object
|
||||
Method
|
||||
Place the Cubs in a circle or a square.
|
||||
One Cub called “It” is placed in the middle to try and intercept the ball.
|
||||
The remaining Cubs have to keep the ball moving across and around the square or circle.
|
||||
If “It” catches or traps the ball, It swaps with the person who threw the ball.
|
||||
Match Stick Tower
|
||||
Equipment
|
||||
Plastic milk bottle or similar object to get the tower up off the floor.

|
||||
Method
|
||||
Give each four Cubs a plastic milk bottle and a box of matches.
|
||||
Each Cub in turn places a match on top of the bottle top and build a tower.
|
||||
If the matches fall or the tower fails, they start again.
|
||||
The Cubs with the highest tower when the meeting is due to start wins.

||||

|
||||
Portraits
|
||||
Equipment
|
||||
Several sheets of stiffish white paper (old posters from various branches of national companies
|
||||
would be ideal for this). White boards would also do – with appropriate pens.
|
||||
Soft black pencils, crayons or colouring pens.
|
||||
Several torches or bedside lamps would be useful.
|
||||
Masking tape
|
||||
Method
|
||||
Pin or tape several large sheets of the paper to the wall of the hall.
|
||||
As each Cub arrives they stand so a shadow of their head appears on the paper.
|
||||
Other Cubs take turns at drawing around the shadow of the head.

|
||||

|
||||
The Cubs are given three balls when their turn comes.
|
||||
The Cub throws the balls into the bucket. The aim is to get 14 points which are gained as

|
||||
First Cub to reach 14 points wins the game.

Once six Cubs are in a queue consider starting a second game.
|
||||
Allocate one Cub to retrieve the balls.

||||
Ten Beans
|
||||
Equipment
|
||||
A quantity of dried bean or peas etc.
|
||||

||||
The object of the game is to get a yes or no answer out of the other Cubs
|
||||
As each Cub arrives they are given ten beans
|
||||
One Cub asks the other a question. If the Cub answers “yes” or “no”, that Cub has to give the
|
||||
questioner a bean.
|
||||

Ten Squares
|
||||
Equipment
|
||||
Six or so flat river stones or steel washers about 20mm in diameter.

||||
Each Cub has one of more stones or washers and aims to land them in the squares starting at 1
|
||||
and moving up to 10.
|
||||
Have one Cub or a leader by the squares throwing the stones back to the players.
|
||||
If the Cub misses the square being aimed at, the next person has a turn.
|
||||
Cubs that have missed a turn carry on where they left off when their turn comes.
|
||||
Missing squares 4 and 8 means starting from one again.
|
||||
Make up teams of four to six as the Cubs arrive. Have several games running at once.
|
||||
Who Am I?
|
||||
Equipment
|
||||
Cards with a celebrity name on it
|
||||
Sticky tape

Stick a card with the name visible to the back of each Cub as they arrive
|
||||
The Cub asks others leading questions about the person whose name is on their card e.g. Is it a
|
||||
sportsperson? Is it an athlete? Is it a runner? And so on.
|
||||
The Cubs only answer one question and then have to ask someone else.
|
||||
Shorten the game by ending it when the first person works out the name on their back.
|
||||
Choose popular and well known celebrities.

The blindfolded Cub walks carefully forwards until reaching a Cub in the Circle.
|
||||
The Blindfold Cub has to try and identify the Cub who is allowed to say “Poor Pussy, Poor Pussy”
|
||||
and then “Meow”.
|
||||
If the Cub is not identified, the blindfolded Cub walks across the circle and tries again.
|
||||
If the Cub is identified correctly, that Cub is blindfolded and the game continues.
|
||||
Cubs are added to the circle as they arrive.
