Supply List

  • 60 yard roll of 1″ blue painters tape
  • Cotton balls, one per player
  • Straws, one per player

Objective

Be the first to blow your cotton ball to the finish line.

Set-Up

Identify a flat area that is free of hazards.  Use the blue painter’s tape to mark off a track for each player that is 5 feet long, so each player has their own track.  Place tracks at least 5 feet apart.

Directions

Place one cotton ball at the starting end of each track. Instruct Cub Scouts that on “Go”, they are to blow their cotton ball to the other end of their track, without touching the cotton ball.  Give Cub Scouts “On your Mark, Get set, Go!”
