Below are just suggested board games based on age appropriateness and the ability to play the games quickly. 

  • Chutes and Ladders™ board game 
  • Candy Land™ board game 
  • Checkers board game 
  • Operation™ board game 
  • 4 – 4” x 4” folding card tables 
  • 16 – folding chairs 
  • Stopwatch  

Before the meeting: 

  1. Contact parents, legal guardians, and adult partners to see who already has the following board games. Other age-appropriate board games and quick play may be substituted.  
    • Chutes and Ladders™ 
    • Candy Land™ 
    • Checkers 
    • Operation™ 
  2. Confirm they will bring the games to the den meeting. 
  3. Set up the meeting space with the four folding tables in four different corners of the room.  Set up the chairs around the table and place each board game on the table. 

 During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that this activity is about taking turns and 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. Explain that they will get a chance to sample different board games with their adult partners.  They may not be able to finish each game, the idea is to see if you like it but also to follow the Scout Oath and Law. 
  4. Set up the teams that will play with each other.  Ask adult partners to point out when a Cub Scout is following the Scout Oath and Law. 
  5. Assign teams to a table to start.  After 10 minutes the groups then rotate clockwise to the next table to play the next game. 
  6. At the end of the meeting ask Cub Scouts what game they liked the best.
