4 I ve Got that Cub Scout Spirit Opening Sing the song I ve Got that Cub Scout Spirit I ve Got That Cub Scout Spirit [some suggested motions: - Up in my head hands on head Deep in my heart hands on chest Down in my feet stretch to touch feet All over me wiggle entire body] Up in my head, up in my head, up in my head Up in my head, Up in my head to stay. Replace Up in my head with other phrases: Second verse: Deep in my heart Third verse: Down in my feet Fourth verse: All over me Fifth verse: Up in my head, deep in my heart, down in my feet All over me, all over me to stay. Then have one or two of the Cub Scouts lead the pack in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Cub Scout Promise.

5 I ve Got That Cub Scout Spirit Up in my head, up in my head, up in my head Up in my head, Up in my head to stay. Deep in my heart, deep in my heart, deep in my heart Deep in my heart, deep in my heart to stay. Down in my feet, down in my feet, down in my feet Down in my feet, down in my feet to stay. All over me, all over me, all over me All over me, all over me to stay. Up in my head, deep in my heart, down in my feet All over me, all over me to stay.

6 Thumbprint Creatures Materials: -Ink pads (non-toxic, non-permanent) -Paper -Pens -Thumbs! Press your thumb onto the ink pad and then onto a piece of paper. Let the ink dry. Use a pen to turn your thumbprints into bugs or animals (see examples). Draw arms, eyes, mouths, tails, feet, legs, wings, antennae, etc.

7 Fruit Basket Game This game is best played in groups of 8-10 people. Materials: Chairs for all players MINUS one or tape to mark spots on the floor. Setup: If you have individual chairs, make sure you have one chair for every player MINUS one. Set up the chairs in a circle. If you do not have individual chairs, use tape to mark spots on the floor to sit on one spot less than the number of people in the group. Mark the spots in a circle. Everyone sits in a chair or on a spot except one person. How to play: Let each player choose a fruit. Depending on the number of the players, you can do this several different ways. Instruct players to remember their fruit. It s okay if multiple people have the same fruit, so you might have only two or three fruits. One player will be left standing say it s Joseph. He s It. Joseph starts the game by calling out the name of a fruit, like strawberries! As soon as he calls out a fruit name, any player sitting in the circle with that fruit would jump up and try to find a new seat. Joseph would also try as fast as he could to sit in one of the open seats. In the end, a player would be left without a seat. That player would then call out another fruit and the game continues. If you have some players that are the only ones with their fruit name, it would be a good idea to have Joseph call out more than one fruit. In this case, you can make a rule that the person in the middle always calls out two fruits, or you could leave it up to the person to call out however many fruits he wanted. Either way you play, at any time, the player in the middle also has the option of calling out Fruit basket! When that happens, all players get up from their chairs and find a new one. Mass pandemonium and good fun ensues as everyone tries not to be left without a seat. The game continues until you want to stop. Rules: You can set a rule that a player getting up from a chair must find a new one at least two seats away (to encourage players to get up and run around). Also, if you re halfway through your game and realize that there s one or two fruits that no one s calling because everyone s forgotten about them (like the Cub Scout that chose mango ), you might want to remind everyone of everyone s fruit. Challenge the Cub Scouts to go home and play this game with their families. Variations: Besides fruit, try any other group of names. You could do dinosaurs and instead of saying Fruit Basket you could say Jurassic Park! Or try favorite movies and instead of saying Fruit Basket you could say Popcorn. The possibilities are endless.

8 Helpful Tree Closing Cubmaster to share: Did you ever stop to think about how helpful a tree is? It provides a nesting place for birds, shad from the sun and protection from the rain. A tree discards its dead branches providing wood for fires and cooking. Trees add beauty to the countryside and help keep our air clean. We must admit that a tree gives a lot more than it receives. And what about us? When we do our best, when we are helpful to others, when we put other people first, we are practicing what we have learned from the tree. This is one lesson I know you will remember to give to others more than we receive just like the tree.
