Directions

Before the meeting:

Prepare the meeting location for a relay race removing obstacles or tripping hazards.
Place four stuffed wild animals and four domesticated stuffed animals in each basket.

During the meeting:

Discuss the difference between wild and domesticated animals. Ask Cub Scouts and adult partners what they think makes an animal wild and to give examples of wild animals.
Ask Cub Scouts and adult partners what they think makes an animal domesticated and to give examples of domesticated animals.
Wild animals are animals that live outdoors and do not rely on humans and are considered wild animals. Most wild animals avoid humans, so you may not see them. Wild animals usually have better sight, hearing, and smell than humans, which helps them stay out of our sight. You should observe wild animals but never approach them.
Domesticated animals are animals that live with humans and rely on us for things like food and shelter are called domesticated. Some animals have become domesticated as a source of food or to help humans with work, and others have become pets. Just because an animal is domesticated does not mean the animal is safe.
Never approach an animal that you do not know. You cannot tell if an animal is domesticated or wild just by looking at it. For example, most dogs you may see are domesticated, but some dogs are wild and do not rely on humans. Wild dogs should not be approached.
Divide the den into two teams, including adult partners.
In this relay race the den leader will call out either “wild” or “domesticated” and the first person on each team runs to their assigned basket and picks a stuffed animal that matches what was called then runs back to the line. If the animal they picked was not correct they go again. If the animal they picked was correct they go to the back of their team and sit down. The winning team is the one who has all its team members sitting first.
After each turn, the animals that were picked up are replaced in the basket. A team may not pick the same animal more than two times.
