Japanese Geta Shoes - 28th May 2010

Adventure and Fun in Action!

Our theme today was the "Geta Shoe" worn by the Japanese.

Pictures of different shoes (2 of each) were handed out to all the cubs and on the blow of the whistle they had to find their partner.

I had really printed out weird and wonderful shoes.... some with spiders etc. to make it even more interesting!

It was then on to a relay race - "Sushi Sensations" where the cubs had to race up and, using only chopsticks, had to pick up a marshmallow and each it before returning and the next cub in line had a turn.

The cubs love anything with food!

Instruction followed and the Caracals make some lovely Greeting Cards.

... and then the fun began....

"Simply Sumo Wresting"

These were the tubes we used for the Sabie River Rafting and they came in good use for this game.

Four cubs inside a tube and they had to try and knock down an opponent!

A little tricky at times and we had to watch very closely!

but they loved it!

Our casual cubs!

This says it all!

Some papercraft..

and walking on stilts - just like the Geta Shoe which is a wooden shoe - almost platform like.

Getting ready..

Cubs had to thread the string through the holes in the tin and then tie the 2 pieces together.

and away we go!
