Knot Games
Greater Alabama Area Council-Roland B

Learning to tie various knots is a very important part of camping and outdoors skill. Here are some games to play that will help you teach knot tying and have fun too.

Giant Square Knot
Each Webelos Scout holds the free end of a 10-foot rope in his right hand. He tries to tie and tighten a square knot without letting go of the rope.

"Snatch"
The object of this game is to snatch the ball (or other small object) off the box without being caught in the 1-foot diameter loop that's held about a foot from the ball. If the Webelos Scout tries to feint a move with his hand he will be disqualified. An 8 to 10 foot length of rope will do.

Tie several pieces of rope of varying thicknesses together, using several different know (square, sheet bend, bowline, two half hitches, etc.) You may use one knot more than

Fourth Grade Webelos display knot board with uses of knots listed below them.

Fifth Grade Webelos can set up a campsite with pup tent, cook fire laid out, and samples of homemade utensils and stoves.
