Beaver Scout Games: Snow Balls

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!

Snow Balls

We play this game at our Christmas Party. This game has two parts, the making of the snow balls and the throwing of them. Great ice breaker (excuse the pun)

Number Of Players
Any group above 8

You Will Need
Several old newspapers cut into single pages. Two ropes or long garden canes

How To Play
Split the group into two equal halves. The two groups are placed at each end of the room. Place the rope or canes in the centre of the room about 8 foot apart. The ropes / canes represent a river bank. The two groups are therefore on opposite banks with a river dividing them. On your command each group has 5 minutes to make as many snow balls as possible. Then after five minutes you shout 'Snowball fight!'. The two groups then throw the snowballs at each other. Any falling in the 'river' are deemed to have melted and you remove them from the game. Continue until the children are exhausted (unlikely) or all the snowballs have melted.
