  • One quarter for each Cub Scout
  • One cup or bowl for each Cub Scout

During the meeting:

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts that they’re going to play coin basketball where they’ll try to toss a quarter into the cup or bowl.
  2. Have Cub Scouts sit at a table and place their cup two or three feet in front of them.
  3. Instruct Cub Scouts to hold the coin upright on its rim between one finger and thumb.
  4. Tell Cub Scouts to try tossing the coin into the cup a couple of times for practice. If they make it into the cup or bowl, they earn two points.
  5. After the practice time is up, tell Cub Scouts that they’ll have two minutes to toss the coin in the cup or bowl as many times as possible. Have them keep up with the number of points they earn.
