Christmas Pack Games and Songs

 Here is a link to 24 games with a Christmas theme for your December pack meeting.

Another game I enjoy is Building Frosty. Divide into teams. Each team is given a roll of white toilet paper, a broom, scarf, hat, three 3" black paper circles, and 3 rolled-up tape pieces. The teams race to see who can transform one person from their group into Frosty, using ALL the toilet paper and all the items. You can have a winner for the first to be completed and a winner for the best job. Remember to bring your camera for pictures!

Click HERE for silly cub scout Christmas songs I have compiled, including 6 Carols about Cub Scouting, 2 just really silly songs to Christmas tunes, 5 songs about Santa with familiar tunes, and 4 sweet holiday songs.

THIS is a link for traditional Christmas songs compiled by one pack in PDF for an attractive 11-page Caroling booklet.

Turkey Song Game

This hilarious audience participation game was presented at Roundtable last night.  I wish I had taken pictures, but hopefully my description will suffice.  All of my measurements are only a guess to help you visualize, and the colors can be any you choose, so do what actually works.

Make 4 turkey tails, one of each color: brown, red, yellow, orange (or pink, blue, black, green ... whatever you already have around):

1.  Cut a 6" circle out of stiff paper for the following colors:  brown, red, yellow, orange,

2.  From the same paper cut out feathers.  The feathers we saw last night were just 6"x1.5" rectangles. 

3.  Attach the feathers to the top circumference of the circle.

4.  Get material 6" wide by 6' long to fit around someone's bottom and hips and tied in the front.  Sew the feathered circles to the middle of the material.

Make 4 turkey masks.  Here's a picture of a simple one that I would probably make, but with paper.

THE GAME:

Teach the audience the following words to the tune "Have You Ever Seen A Lassie" or "Here We Are Together":
    Have you ever seen a turkey, a turkey, a turkey
    Have you ever seen a turkey with feathers like that.
    There's brown ones and red ones and yellow ones and orange ones.
    Have you ever seen a turkey with feathers like that.

Get 4 volunteers who wear the turkey masks and tail throughout pack meeting.  Whenever a certain word is said, let's just pick "thank" for an example, the turkeys get up and start strutting around like a turkey would and the audience sings the above song.  When the color of their tail is sung, the turkeys wag their tails to the audience.
