Beaver Scout Games

Welcome to my blog for simple games to play with young groups like Beavers and Cubs. If you are planning a childrens party then this may be a useful source of information for cheap simple and fun ideas.


All people love to play games. At Beavers we play games outside when the weather permits so I have listed games suitable for such occassions. We meet on a Thursday evening so for half of the year we cannot go outside as it's too dark. Therefore we also have loads games for the inside as well.


I have categorisd the games into their most approriate section. However, most games can be adapted for most situations.


If you have any party game ideas then please forward them to me and I will try then out at my Colony and add them to the list.

Most importantly have fun!

Duck , Duck, Goose

Very simple game, nothing required, great for burning off some energy.

Number Of Players
10+

What You Need
Nothing required

How To Play
The children sit in a circle, facing inwards. One child is chosen to be the 'Picker'. The 'Picker' then walks around tapping each player in turn on the head or shoulder, calling each a 'Duck' until finally picking one to be a 'Goose'. When this happens the 'Goose' gets up as quickly as possible and chases and tries to catch the "Picker", while the "Picker" tries to return to and sit where the 'Goose' had been sitting. If the picker gets back to where the 'Goose' was sitting the 'Goose' is now the new picker and the process begins again.

If the 'Goose' catches the picker then give the child a big cheer and choose another 'Picker'
