Guess What I’m Doing Game
York Adams Area Council
On separate slips of
paper, write some directions. (Buckle your seat belt; look both ways before
crossing the street; wash the dog: take out the garbage; etc.) Put the slips
in a hat and ask the first player to pick out one. He reads his direction and
pantomimes the action. The player who first guesses what he is does the next
pantomime.
ACTORS’ NAMES
York Adams Area Council
How many actors can each boy name? Give out blank
sheets of paper and have the boys try to list out every actor they can
remember. Let them compare notes, if they want—just get their memories
working.
FAVORITE MOVIE SCENE
York Adams Area Council
By the time I was in Cub Scouts, I could list off on
one finger the number of theater movies I had seen. Not so anymore (for
children or for me!). With VCR, DVD, and mega-movie-complexes, movie watching
is truly an American pastime. Have the boys think back over the movies
they’ve seen and have each one identify a particular scene that they like more
than any other they’d ever seen. (I bet not one of them lists off the scene
in Shenandoah when Boy returns from being captured and joins the family at
church!—My all-time favorite scene, I think.)
FAMOUS ACTORS
York Adams Area Council
Go to some Internet sites
that have pictures of different actors (try:
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/7347/index.html). I guess you could
get pictures from magazines, Sunday papers, etc., too. Print off a picture of
each actor and label each one. Give out lists of the actors’ names (not in
the same order as the pictures) and get everyone to figure out who’s who.
HELP THE DIRECTOR
York Adams Area Council
At the end of the section is
a maze for you to copy and hand out. If you look really closely, you’ll see
it’s the same maze used for other months, but the pictures have been changed.
I wonder if anyone will notice if you hand them out from one month to the
next.
