Water Conservation Charades

Before the meeting: 

1. Investigate how wastewater is managed in your community: physical water treatment, biological water treatment, chemical treatment, or sludge treatment. 
   1. Where does wastewater go to be cleaned? 
   2. How is it returned to the water cycle? 
2. Print the Conservation Charades clues .Cut the clues into strips. 
3. Fold each strip and place in a small bowl. 
4. Set up meeting space so Cub Scouts have plenty of room to move around. 

During the meeting: 

1. Gather the Cub Scouts and share what you learned about what happens to wastewater in your community.  
2. Explain to the Cub Scouts that something everyone can do to help the environment is to conserve water and today you will play a game of charades about how to conserve water. 
3. Divide Cub Scouts into two teams. 
4. Have one person from team one pull a water conservation clue from the bowl. Give Cub Scout one minute to act out their clue while the rest of their team tries to guess what the person is doing.  
5. If the team guesses correctly, they get one point. 
6. Continue this process giving each team a turn to guess. Have a different Cub Scout do the acting each time. 
7. The team with the most points at the end wins.
