  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, back cover with the Scout Oath and Scout Law 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Become familiar with how to play Red Light Green Light.  
    • Start with everyone along the starting line, with the game leader at the finish line about 60 ft away. 
    • When the game leader says ‘Green Light’ everyone will move towards the finish line. 
    • When the game leader says ‘Red Light’ everyone must immediately stop. 
    • If players are still moving when you call ‘Red Light’, they must go back to the starting line. 
    • The game leader may call “Green Light” or “Red Light” multiple times in a row. 
    • Start a new round when everyone gets across the finish line or when most players make it across the finish line. 
  2. Identify a safe area free of obstacles to play Red Light Green Light. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that this activity is about practicing the Scout Oath and Scout Law as we play. 
  2. Ask Cub Scouts and adult partners to look at the back of the Lion handbook and by raising their hand share a point of the Scout Law that they feel is important to follow when playing a game. 
  3. Inform the den and adult partners that they will play Red Light Green Light. 
  4. Explain the rules of how to play Red Light Green Light. 
  5. Play several rounds as time permits.  When finished gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and have them share examples of when they were following the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
