Directions

Before the meeting:

Use the 3” x 5” index cards to create cards for charades. The card will have a description of how something was done before technology improved it. For example, a card will have “wash dishes by hand” the answer is “dishwasher.” Use the Life Easier Charades Cards document found in Additional Resources to create the cards and have the answer key accessible. Make up a couple of your own charades.
Become familiar with how to play charades. Begin with a stack of charade cards. In turn, each player draws a card and acts out the old way of doing things using hand signals and body motions but no spoken words. Players then try to guess the technology that improved the old way of doing things. The player giving the correct answer is allocated a point. You may wish to use a timer to keep rounds short and succinct. When playing with a larger den, divide into teams before playing. If a team does not guess the acted phrase correctly within the time limit, the other team can try to guess the phrase and steal the point. The player or team with the most points wins the game.

During the meeting:

Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners. Tell them that you are going to play a game of charades. Explain the rules for playing charades.
