Let us take a tour through time and just find out a little more about those "ancient cultures"...
STEAM RELEASE GAME: Find your matchCubs are given a name (Aztec - Inca - Babalonian) and they run around. On the blow of the whistle the CI calls out one of the cultures eg. Aztec. All the Aztec must sit down. Other cubs start running around again. On the blow of the whistle another name is called - eg. Inca. The Aztecs jump up and the Incas sit down.... and so it goes on.
Thanks to the Sumerians, we also know a great deal about the ancient Mesopotamian civilization of Babylon and of Assyria. These Civilizations who used the ancient Sumerian system of writing - cuneiform. I wonder what it was like to live in those days...
PLAYACTING: Who am I?The CI handed each cub a canister with a name of a civilization in it. Each Six had 5 minutes to prepare their play act.

After each Six had done their little play act, the rest had to guess where in the world they were from.... they managed most successfully!
It was then time for a Yarn and all cubs were asked to close their eyes and imagine as the story was being told.
Simple alphabets were used - and memories had to be good.
KIMS GAME: Can u Remember?

Instruction time - and the Caracals were to learn "how to answer the phone correctly in your home language"
The cubs LOVED it that they each had their own phone to use and this was a great success.
They took turns to dial a friend.....
.... as well as chat to a friend.....
The Lions enjoyed making musical instruments...
GAME: Tug of War
