Tiger Cubs
     S*K*I*T Skit

Tiger cubs are milling around on the stage,
looking bored.  A den chief or older boy or
girl walks by.

Scout: What are you Tiger Cubs doing up
here?

Tigers: (at once, each with his own line)
We're bored! We don't have anything to do!
Yeah! There's nothing to do!

Scout: Well, why don't you go play in the
street?

Tigers: No, Tiger Cubs don't do that!

Scout: Well, why don't you go bother
someone?

Tigers: No, Tiger Cubs don't do that!

Scout: Well, why don't you make a lot of
noise?

Tigers: No, Tiger Cubs don't do that!

Scout: Well then, why don't you all put on a
skit?

(Tiger cubs are silent and think real hard.  
After a few seconds...

Tigers: YEAAAH! That's a great idea!
(Tigers all line up across the stage and bow
deeply to the audience.
Each Tiger Cub holds a poster or paper with a letter
on it.  After he shouts his letter, his adult partner
reads the statement matching the letter.

second a little louder and the third time is yelled loudly with a big
tiger growl at the end:

"The wonderful thing about Tiger Cubs...
is that Tiger Cubs are Wonderful things."

Stoneface Story
Maker

Draw a face on a rock with
paint or permanent
markers.  Make a few of
them. Then make up a
story, using these
characters.
Game: Lion Roar
This noise game is played
outside.  All Tiger Cubs line up
side by side.  At the signal, they
roar as loudly as they can and
run as fast as they can.  They
run as long as they can roar
without taking another breath.  
When they can no longer roar,
they must stop.

Game: What is it?

An activity to increase awareness of visual impairment.

Ahead of time, the den leader gathers common objects and places
each in a separate box or bag.  Boys reach into the box or bag and try
to identify the object that they are feeling.  Have adult partners guess
some of the objects.  Boys will enjoy knowing what the objects are
when their adult partners does not.  Add things of unusual shape and
texture such as an adhesive bandage, a ring, a washer and bolt.  The
exercise will bring the difficulty of dealing with everyday things in a
non-seeing world to a boy with first hand experience.

Rocks In a Bag

"It" puts a counted number (known only to him) of different
sized rocks in a bag.  Boys pass the bag around, each
holding it for 10 seconds without opening the bag.  When all
the boys have examined the bag, it is returned to the leader.  
The boys write the number of rocks they guess are in the bag
on a slip of paper.  The boy who is closest is the winner.

Use painted rocks as your pieces.  Draw the grid with
sidewalk chalk on the sidewalk or stepping stone.
