GATHERING ACTIVITIES
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
Road Sign Game
Grand Teton Council
Road signs like these are important to drivers, Can you think of some games that can be played to help you learn the signs?? Or maybe have your Cubs create a game or three??
HHHMMmmmmm - this looks like the start of a BINGO board to me Just add in a few more signs and produce some cards with the signs in different orders. CD
How about Road Sign Dominoes for gathering?
Hide the signs around your meeting area and then have the boys find them and mark them off on a card.
What else can you think of creating?? Please send me a note about what you created. Thanks CD
