  • Chairs 
  • Pencils 
  • Scissors 
  • Wolf handbook 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Place the scissors on one side of a table. Put two or three chairs on the opposite side of the table. 
  2. Place the pencils on the floor near a wall where they won’t be stepped on. Put a chair next to them. 
  3. Place the Wolf handbook on a wall shelf. Put a chair below and facing the shelf. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts that some people have a physical disability.  Examples of physical disabilities are people in wheelchairs because their legs do not work. Because of the physical disability, it is difficult to get around and to retrieve items they may need. 
  2. Explain to Cub Scouts that they are going to sit in a chair and try to reach various objects they may need. 
  3. Have Cub Scouts take turns sitting in one of the chairs at the table. Ask them to pick up a pair of scissors without standing or rising up out of the chair. 
  4. Next, have Cub Scouts take turns sitting in the chair by the pencils. Ask them to pick up a pencil off the floor without moving off the chair. 
  5. Have Cub Scouts take turns sitting in the chair by the shelf. Ask them to retrieve the Wolf handbook off the shelf without standing or raising up out of the chair. 
  6. When Cub Scouts have tried all the tasks, have them sit in chairs and then ask the following questions: 
    • Was it hard to reach the items sitting down? 
    • Look around the room. What other things would be hard to retrieve if you must stay seated? 
    • What can we do to make it easier to reach the things we need?
