Beaver Scout Games: Round the Circle

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!

Round the Circle

Number of Players
Ideally 12+

You Will Need
A Ball

How to Play
Split the children into two equal teams. The first teams line up in a straight line. The second team form a circle with one of the children in the centre of this circle. On your word the game begins.

LINE TEAM: the first child of the lined up team run around the circle team and back to the next person in line and so on until all members of the line team have all run.

CIRCLE TEAM: the child in the circle team throws the ball to one of the other children in the circle and they then throw it back to the centre child. The thrower repeats this and throws the ball to the next child in the circle and so on until the line team have all run round the circle team.

For each successful throw and return the circle team score one point.

The teams then switch roles and repeat the game. The team who scores the most points wins.
