Before the meeting:

  1. Print one copy of the Blank Canvas Tales sheet.
  2. Use the Blank Canvas Tales sheet and write numbers 1 to 10.
  3. Set up meeting space so Cub Scouts have room to gather around the white board.

During the meeting:

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts the benefits of laughing. Did you know that laughing helps your body? It relaxes your muscles and makes your body and mind feel peaceful and calm. It helps your body fight off germs that could make you sick. It even improves blood flow in your blood vessels, which helps keep your heart functioning well. So, laughter is just what the doctor ordered!
  2. Tell Cub Scouts they will be playing a word-play game. Explain that they will be providing random words without knowing the context of the story.
  3. Ask Cub Scouts to number off, 1 to 10. Ask Cub Scouts number 1 to provide a noun, a name. Write down the noun next to the number 1 on the white board. Ask Cub Scout number 2 to give an adjective and write it down on the white board next to number 2. Do this for all 10 words.
  4. Using the Blank Canvas Tales sheet, read the story to the Cub Scouts.
  5. Discuss what made the story so funny.
