National Cub Challenge 14 August 2009

Today we had our "special programme" for the National Cub Challenge. Some of the cubs came dressed up as "Care Bears"

We started off by parading those that had come dressed up and choosing a winner. Today our winners were our twins who dressed up in these beautiful outfits made by their mom especially for this meeting.

Being Care Bears, we all need to know where we are going so our first game was a quick NSEW.

Followed by the "Smile Song"

What better way to get to all those people in need, than by taking a bus! Here they played a lovely game "on the bus" where if a name was called out that was a STREET, they had to do a certain action, whilst if ROAD was called they had to do another action.

Here they had reached the BUS STOP, and they knew they had to exit through the "doors" and sit quietly in the hall.

After listening to a lovely yarn and doing some sense training, each cub made a special car for someone special.

Care Bears need to be able to work with anyone in the community. Here the cubs played a game whereby they picked up a card and had to "mime and act" out what was written on a card. Example: Fireman, Policeman, Nurse etc

All Care Bears collect clothes for the under-priviledged!

We played a circle game passing around an object and when STOP was called, a bag of clothes was presented to that cub who had to pull out any article and put it on.
