TIGER CUBS
Big Idea #13 - Caring for your Home and Household
Greater St. Louis Area Council
This activity could be done for a Mother's Day gift. Have Tiger make a coupon book redeemable to his mother with activities such as: take trash out, go through toy box and throw away any broken toys, vacuum carpets for the day, set table, help clean up, etc.
Have Tigers collect recyclable aluminum cans from their household. Bring to a den meeting that will be a field trip to your nearest recycling center to see what happens to them.
Big Idea #14-Family Games, Tricks, and Puzzles
Host a Family Feud using the following ideas:
Make a family pennant
This is designed to inspire team spirit. Cut one sheet of poster board into a triangular pennant shape. Allow fifteen minutes for each team to create a flag. Each pennant must contain a family name. Have the Tiger Cup Partner staple their poster pennants on 1/2" x 3' wooden dowel. Post banners around the Olympic grounds.
Piggyback Parent
In this race, a parent must carry all of his/her offspring at once without letting them touch the ground. For small families, this is easy, but for those large families, this can become a challenge.
Mom-Calling Contest
In this contest, blindfolded mothers race to find their children, who are calling to them from across a designated distance.
Blindfold each Mom (or Dad) and line them up side by side. The children line up side by side across an open expanse with the Tigers and their siblings grouped together. At the signal, the kids start calling for their Mothers. Whoever touches her own children first is the winner.

God bless America, land that I love.

Through the night with the light from above.

To the oceans white with foam.
