Jump Rope

posted Mar 26, 2016, 8:57 PM by Keith Savage

Requirements:

1. Thick heavy rope
2. Padded weight at the end of the rope if required.

Instructions:

• Simple is an understatement for this game but the Scouts seem to really enjoy it.
• Form a circle smaller than the radius of the rope.
• The leader stands in the middle of the circle and starts spinning the rope around.
• The aim of the game is to jump over the rope - not letting it touch any part of you.
• If the rope does touch you then you're out.
• The last scout remaining is the winner.
• Depending on the weight and thickness of the rope you may need to weight it at the end to help carry on it's momentum.

Dividing Amoebae

posted Mar 26, 2016, 8:54 PM by Keith Savage

Instructions:

• 2 Scouts start the game off by linking arms together to for the "Amoebae". All other plays spread out around the hall and have to avoid contact with the Amoebae.
• If the Amoebae touch another Scout then they assimilated into Amoebae and link arms with the Amoebae Scouts.
• Once the Amoebae chain reaches 4 Scouts then the Amoebae splits into 2 chains of 2.
• The last Scout not to be touched by the Amoebae is the winner.
• The advantage of this game is that nobody is out of the game until the end.

3 Legged Soccer

Instructions:

• Couldn't be more simple - normal soccer rules but everybody is paired off and their legs tied together  WARNING: THIS CAN BE A SERIOUSLY FUNNY GAME!

Circular Tug of War

1. Long rope
2. Team bases (tables for example)

Instructions:

• Split the troop into equal strength teams.
• Tie the rope into a large circle in which all the troop can easy fit into.
• Setup bases equal distances from the rope. For example if there are four teams then set a base in each corner of the hut.
• The winning team is the first to reach their base.
• See the diagram below for a pictorial overview of the game.

Tag Ball

posted Nov 18, 2008, 10:02 AM by Patrick Hill This one is fun.  The one person has a soft ball.  He cannot move, and the goal is for him to tag the other players with the ball.  As the players are tagged, they're out.

Instructions:

• One person is on and holds a ball.
• This person can not move while they have hold of the ball.
• The idea is to throw the ball and hit somebody who is not tagged.
• If you hit somebody not tagged then they are out of the game.
