  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, page 36
  • Crayons, enough to share

Before the meeting:

  1. Set up the meeting location so Cub Scouts and adult partners can work on the activity together.

During the meeting:

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share that this activity is about force. Inform the den that force is an action that changes or maintains the motion of a body or object. Simply stated, a force is a push or a pull. Forces can change an object’s speed, its direction, and even its shape.
  2. Have Cub Scouts work with their adult partners to color the images on page 36 of their Lion handbook.
  3. Then place an X on images that show pushing and an O on images that show pulling.
