GATHERING ACTIVITIES

Note on Word Searches, Word Games, Mazes and such | In order to make these items fit in the two column format of Baloo's Bugle they are shrunk to a width of about 3 inches.  Your Cubs probably need bigger pictures.  You can get these by copying and pasting the picture from the Word version or clipping the picture in the Adobe (.pdf) version and then enlarging to page width.  CD

Gingerbread Person Photo Shoot
Baloo's Archives

Get a refrigerator or wardrobe box.  Decorate the front with a gingerbread man.  Cut a hole in the front of box so cubs can show their faces while having their picture taken.

Santa's Bag
Trapper Trails Council

Number ten brown paper bags from one to ten. Put a familiar Christmas - related article in each bag and staple shut.  Each boy is given a pencil and paper on which he lists numbers one through ten.  He tries to guess what is in each bag by feeling through the paper, and records on his paper his guess.  Boy with greatest number of correct answers is winner.

Santa Maze
Baltimore Area Council

This has a suggested time limit of 4 minutes. Start at the "in" arrow at Santa's boot and exit at the "out" on his pack.
