Tiger Ping-pong Relay

Before the meeting: 

1. Become familiar with how to run the ping-pong ball relay race. 
   • Divide the den into two teams, keeping Cub Scouts and adult partners together. Each player gets a spoon and a ping-pong ball. Each team must carry their ping-pong ball on their spoon from the starting line to a turnaround point and back again. Then, the ping-pong ball is passed off to a teammate who takes their turn. If the ping-pong is dropped, the player must stop and retrieve it. The first team to complete the relay wins. 
2. Identify a safe area free of obstacles to conduct the relay.  Put down a strip of painter’s tape to mark the starting line for each team.  Place another piece of tape 40 feet away. 

During the meeting: 

1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and explain the rules for the ping-pong ball relay. 
2. Divide the den into two teams, keeping Cub Scouts and adult partners together.

5. After playing, gather Cub Scouts and adult partners and discuss what they liked about the game and when they were living up to the Scout Law.
