Start your Virtual Meets with something a bit silly – this is a list from the First Virtual Scout Group site – some are more appropriate for different Sections:
- Best apron
- Bring a teddy
- Best pair of socks
- Best hat
- Bring a baby photo
- Bring 5 household objects they would take on a desert island – then list them in order of importance
- Dingbats
- Memory game – they show their 5 items then take one away and others shout out which is missing
- A variation on story cubes? One person starts a sentence of a story that has to involve one of their objects somehow, the next person carries the story on using one of their objects as well and so on around everyone to make a story?
- Talk about where objects in the home come from, use a globe or map. How did they get to your country? Links to the Global Issues badge.
- Build an origami boat to get off a desert island – done properly they float
- Introduce your pet (real or stuffed/toy animal if they don’t have a pet)
- Funkiest hairstyle
- Create sock puppets then do a story in teams
- Weirdest item (excluding siblings) in their house
- Bring 5 items which begin with the first letter of their first name
- Tee-shirt challenge – how many t-shirts can you wear
