This is a perfect month for involving friends in doing good deeds and creating holiday magic through art. Cub Scouts use their artistic abilities to create holiday decorations, gifts, or cards. This artwork might be put on display in nursing homes, in churches, schools, or homes, and at the pack meeting or at a meeting of the chartered organization. Boys can make cards and ornaments and share them with residents of a local nursing or retirement home, children's hospital, or community center and do a "Good Turn for America." Boys can discover different forms of art, write poems, attend a musical or performing art show, or visit a local art museum. Works of art can become gifts for family members. The Academic belt loop or pin in Art or Music could be worked on in conjunction with these projects. BUILDING ON 3 MONTHLY OUR PAST THEMES POW WOW BALTIMORE 2009 AREA COUNCIL GATHERING ACTIVITIES Christmas Card Puzzle This game makes a good gathering activity. Cut an old Christmas card into irregular pieces to form a puzzle for each player and place in an envelope. As each boy arrives, give him a puzzle. If playing as a regular game, the first player to put his puzzle together is the winner. How Many Words? How marry words can you make from the letters in the words “WORKS OF ART”? Christmas Toys Pin on the back of each player (adults make good players in this game), the name of some toy. Use the names of toys such as electric train, doll, teddy bear, etc. Each player tries to learn what is on his back by asking questions that can only be answered “yes" or “no.” All questions must be answered correctly. When one has learned what toy he represents, he may take the name from his back, pin it on his front, and retire from the game. Holiday ame That Tune As families arrive, invite them to play
