I used it at my Pack meeting this Monday. It took most of 45 minutes, which was my goal. I used the Version 1 instructions. Things went fairly well, but as soon as I got home, I typed up the Version 2 instructions as well, and intend to use them the next time. Some of the boys were able to handle the 'game' by themselves, but most of the 2nd graders, and a few strays from the older grades, couldn't stay 'on task' for more than 5 or 10 minutes. If anyone else wants to try this game, all I ask is that: 1) you let me know that you're using it, and 2) you give me feedback, suggestions, improvements, etc. when you're done. I've attempted to re-format this text in plain ASCII, my original is on a MAC using WORD 4.0. If you see any typo's, they were probably introduced during reformatting. PS - at the (older) Boy Scout level, I'd suggest doing it first alone, and then by Patrol. ------------------------------ cut here ----------------------------- FIRE SAFETY GAME EVERY ANSWER IS USED ONCE - AND ONLY ONCE!. IF A QUESTION CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE ANSWER, SKIP IT AND COME BACK TO IT LATER. |_YOURS______|_GROUP'S____| THE REST WAS DELETED - ADD IT IN AGAIN PAUL!! FIRE SAFETY GAME INSTRUCTIONS: VERSION 1 This 'game' is has been designed with Cub Scouts in mind. The game will be done as follows: 1) every person, Cubs, parents, Den leaders, and even siblings should take the test alone. Emphasize to the kids that if they don't know what a word is, they should ask an adult. The game is supposed to test Fire Safety skills, not reading ability. 2) After everyone has answered the questions alone, they should then get together by family. Each family should compare answers and circle those that aren't the same. Do NOT change 'YOUR' answers after you start the family discussion. After you have compared answers on all questions, go back and discuss those where the answers aren't the same. For answers that don't agree, you should settle on one 'correct' family answer. PARENTS, PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR KIDS IF THEIR ANSWER IS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS! KIDS, DON'T ASSUME YOUR PARENT'S ANSWER IS RIGHT, AND THAT YOURS IS WRONG. 3) In the final step, each Den should get together. The Den Leader should read the answer sheet out loud, and the families should see how well they did. Mark the total number of right answers for each column in the boxes at the bottom of the page. These score sheets are NOT to be turned in, I would like families to take them home and talk about them. If any kids do better than their parents, please have them bring both game sheets up to me at the front. I would also like Den leaders to find out whether any families had 100% perfect on the game. A few questions can use several answers. There is a 'best' answer for each of these questions. If you find a question that has more than one answer, skip it and come back to it later. EVERY answer should only be used once. Use the process of elimination to find the 'best' answer on those questions that can use more than one of the answer words. FIRE SAFETY GAME INSTRUCTIONS: VERSION 2 This 'game' is has been designed with Cub Scouts in mind. The game will be done as follows: 1) every Cub is to pair up with an adult (parent), Boy Scout, or older sibling. They should work as a team to decide the answers for each question. PLEASE make sure the Cubs have a lot of input into the decision-making. 2) After everyone has answered the questions as pairs, they should then get together by Den. Each Den should compare answers and circle those that aren't the same. Do NOT change 'YOUR' answers after you start the Den discussion. After you have compared answers on all questions, go back and discuss those where the answers aren't the same. For answers that don't agree, you should settle on one 'correct' Den answer. PLEASE LISTEN TO EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY IF THEIR ANSWER IS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS! KIDS, DON'T ASSUME THAT SOMEONE ELSE'S ANSWER IS RIGHT, AND THAT YOURS IS WRONG. 3) In the final step, THE Cubmaster should read the answer sheet out loud, and the Dens should see how well they did. Mark the total number of right answers for each column in the boxes at the bottom of the page. These game sheets are NOT to be turned in, I would like families to take them home and talk about them.
