GATHERING/PRE-OPENERS
PEANUT SLIDE
Use whole, shell peanuts. Spray peanuts with clear spray
paint for a shiny finish. Glue a ring or pipe cleaner on
the back for the slide. Families can decorate as desired.
FAMILY CIRCUS
Have each family come up with their own circus
act. This can be performed during the pack
meeting. Or, weeks before the pack meeting ask
families to prepare circus acts to perform. You
will find some real talent and imagination.
GET TOGETHER GAME
Assign each person the name of a different thing found in the
circus, such as clown, elephant, trapeze artist, ringmaster,
acrobats, etc. When the leader says, “Go!” all call out what they are and
gather in groups (animal or people) as fast as they can. The group
gathered first wins. Use this to divide into teams for the next game.
