Note on Word Searches, Word Games, Mazes and such – In order to make these items fit in the two column format of Baloo’s Bugle they are shrunk to a width of about 3 inches.  Your Cubs probably need bigger pictures.  You can get these by copying and pasting the picture from the Word version or clipping the picture in the Adobe (.pdf) version and then enlarging to page width.  CD

York Adams Council

  • Have someone cut out a bunch of different insect pictures and mount them on paper to hang around the Pack Meeting room.  (Make sure you know the names of the different bugs.) 
  • Label the pictures with letters or numbers. 
  • Hand out sheets of paper with the names of the different bugs listed in a mixed up order. 
  • Ask people to match the pictures with the names. 
  • After the opening ceremony, read off the answers and ask everyone how they did. 
  • Give an appropriate cheer/applause to the one(s) who got the most matches.
