PRE-OPENING

 

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.
