Subj: [RR] Game Date: 5/18/99 2:12:39 PM Central Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Brian of Wiggin) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] All Here's a game we tried tonight which went well. You will need: 4 markers for the boys to run to 4 sheets of paper with the name and a drawing of an animal 10 or more slips of paper with the names of animals on a whistle Place your 4 markers with one of the names and pictures of animals by each. Let someone choose an animal from the slips of paper. The boys then mimic that animal until the whistle blows. Then they run to a marker. Someone who cannot see the markers says something like, "no-one has cleaned the goldfish bowl for a month and all the fish die". One of the markers will have a picture and name of a fish by it and all those boys will be out. When you are down to less than 4 boys you can remove markers or tell the person making the announcements which markers are covered. If you wish you could use environmental reasons for the animals dying. I would suggest trying it with SA's or Bucks.

Possibly use the knot learned in the tying of the legs together for the 3-legged race. Devotions: Have a rope all tied up into many knots (make sure that it is not a rope with much memory). Ask the boys if the rope as it is can be used very well. Point out that all the knots make the rope useless. Point out that sin in our lives can make our lives useless for serving God. As you untie the knots in the rope, discuss how God forgives us for our sins and makes us as if we hadn�t even sinned. Show the rope, now useful because of the removal of the knots, and tell them that if we ask God to forgive us, he will; and we can be used by Him again. Use the verse I John 1:9.

Divide your players into two groups. They should form 2 lines - each team facing the other: xxxxxxxxxxx - team 1 U -----------the bacon 000000000 - team 2 (important - YOU NEED an even number of players. The odd man out can be LEADER) The "bacon" (we use a horseshoe), is placed halfway between the two groups. Each player on each team is then given a number from 1 to (the total number of players of that team). Then each team should face off as follows: 1,2,3,4,5,6..... - team 1 -players 1 - 6 | | U -----------the bacon | 6,5,4,3,2,1....- team 2 players 6 -1 So player #1 faces player #6 etc... Now the leader calls out a number. The players with that number quickly run forward to STEAL THE BACON and run back to their team. If they are tagged by the opponent there is NO point. If they make it back without being tagged they score a point. (Be sure the leader calls ALL the numbers at some time). You can be creative as say, "I'm thinking of the number of points in the RR emblem". OR how many RED points are in the emblem. -Cdr Jen _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks!" RTKB&G4JC!

Historically, we have played it that if we call "Steal the Bacon", EVERYONE goes for it. This has never been a problem, until a couple of weeks ago. We have grown as an outpost, and when I called "Steal the Bacon", 20 boys ran for the middle. One boy who had the bacon would up on the bottom of the pile and when someone lunged for the bacon, this boy hit his head on the floor. He finished the night feeling fine and went home. All seemed well until I got a call at 1:00 a.m. that he was at the hospital talking incoherantly. Apparently he wound up with a mild concussion and was in the hospital for 2 days. We are going to change the way we play this game. Bottom line is be careful with the games you choose and the way you play them. By the way, another favorite with the boys is "British Bulldog". This is a strenuous game, but the boys love it. It MUST be played outdoors, though. To play, you will need a playing field of some size. We use half of a middle school football field. There is an "end zone" on each end, and "out of bounds" on each side. Choose one boy who is "IT". He gets in the middle and all the other boys line up behind one of the end zones. The boy in the middle calls "BRITISH BULLDOG", and the other boys must go to the other end zone without getting tackled. If they are tackled ( or go out of bounds) they then help the boy(s) in the middle tackle the others. This continues back and forth until only one boy is left. He is then "IT", and the game starts over again. ____________________________________________________________ Subj: [RR] Game Date: 5/18/99 6:55:19 PM Central Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spirit Rider) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-to: <A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] All, This is a neat game. It's both basketball and dogeball. Items needed: 2 basket balls 2 doge balls Form to even teams and have them line up on two sides of the basket ball court. __________________________ A B __________________________ Place the basketballs at center court and the doge balls center between the two teams. Number off the boys 1,2,3, ect. When "2's" is called, the boys race to the basketball and dribble to the free throw line. Once there, they begin to shot baskets. The first to make a basket MUST dribble the ball back to center court. He then races to the doge balls and starts the doge ball game. The other Must make a bakset and return the ball to center court before he can start the doge ball game. The first player to hit all the opsipt teams players wins the point. Team members can caugth the ball and throw it at the thrower. If he is hit they win a point.
