This isnt just about brownies but if you are involved in scouting or with youngsters aged 7-10 what games are good.
Im looking at an indoor game with minimal equipment/ with a number of small teams (6 to a team)
If you were a brownie/cub scout/or any other organisation in the above age range what games can you explain to me?
I have searched websites - with little description of games i need an explanation so i can teach it! PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
they gotta be sensible safe games! Thankyou guys!

im now games co-ordinator different game every week! the joys!;)
Any energetic games which will ensure only 1 left in it the end?
There are numerous games I could explain to you- but instead i'll pm you a few websites and let you have a look for yourself.
Any problems pm and ill try sort them out!
Or, you could make up a story. The brownies are in the patrol's, each team with the same amount of people, each memeber is a different object/person. You read the story out and whenever their object is said they have to run to one end of the hall and back to their place, who ever wins gains a point for the team. At the end of the story, which ever team has the most points wins.
Erm....wink murder....can be a bit difficult with younger people though.
I'll have a think, can't remember many of our brownie games, more the ones we played in guides, which were a bit rough.
Nervous queen is similar to captive princess- one brownie sits on a chair facing a wall, the others are across the room from her. The object is to sneak up on the 'queen' without her hearing you. Everytime the queen hears a noise, she has to shuffle her chair, and the people approaching her stop (and/ or sit down if you want to make this an elimination game)
Pass the squeeze - we used to do this with our brownies at the end of the night and who ever ended up with the squeeze would take an imaginary 'mr squeeze' home with them and have to make up a story of what he did during the week.
To make it more of a game, you put one person in the middle. Then the others form a circle, holding hands. They pass messages by saying "I'm going to send a message to ..... (whoever)" then its passed round by squeezing hands (in either direction)
Its the job of the person in the middle to catch the 'message'. If they do, they change places with whoever was squeezing, if they don't they stay in the middle.
*carries on thinking*
Thanks
And yes, i'm well aware of how dangerous it's now considered... but it was all part of the fun
the other kids can supervise.
Sometimes i feel like tying them all up and gagging their mouths
We also used to play a game where we'd have a big circle of string with a cotton reel on it, and we all had to sit in a circle facing inwards and hold the string, and push the cotton reel around it to eachother with our eyes closed. Then when we had to open our eyes, one person would be picked to try and find out who had the cotton reel in their hands. You had 3 guesses and if you got all 3 wrong then you were out, but if you got it right you got to stay in.
Thats all I can remember at the moment
