York Adams Area Council
There are many different types of bugs in
our world. How many “common” bugs do the boys recognize? Using pictures from
a website, National Geographic Magazines, etc., get and mount pictures of
different bugs; label each picture with a letter or number for matching each
to its name; and post these pictures on the walls of the meeting place. Give
each person a list of the names of the bugs that are on display and have them
write the correct number/letter to match the pictures to the names. After the
opening ceremony, go over the correct answers and see how many folks correctly
identified. You might want to award the den with the highest count a special
Bug Award. (Stores like the “Dollar Store” usually carry an assortment of
plastic bugs that could be used to mount on a “trophy stand” to award to
someone. Also, hanging one of these bugs by a string can serve as a good den
flag award.)
Indoor Critter Trail
Trapper Trails Council
Make a "critter trail" through the pack
meeting place by placing plaster cast of animal and insect tracks, pictures of
birds, birds feathers, animal pictures, real insects of their pictures.
Each den or family is given a pencil and
paper and moves along the trail" writing its identification for each numbered
specimen on the paper.
Crossroads of America
For the registration icebreaker place a
basket in the play area and give each person 5 chances to bounce the ball in
from 6 feet away. Have everyone remember how many they got in and recognize
the high people prior to the meeting.
NAMETAGS:
Make easy nametags
in the shape of a bug. Simple ladybugs will work!
