  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, pages 57 and 59 
  • Craft scissors, one for each Cub Scout 
  • Crayons, enough to share 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Prepare the meeting location so Cub Scouts can work with adult partners to complete the activity on pages 57 and 59. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that being a Cub Scout means that we try to always do our best to live by the Scout Law.  Explain that in this activity they are going to play a game of tic-tac-toe.   
  2. Have adult partners work with their Cub Scouts to complete the activity on pages 57 and 59. 
  3. When completed have them play several games of tic-tac-toe. 
  4. When everyone is finished playing ask the Cub Scouts, “What are the rules to tic-tac-toe?” 
  5. Wait for an answer about not being able to take a turn back or that once you move you can’t move again. 
  6. Make the connection that there are things that we do in our life that we cannot take back.  When we are mean to other people we can’t take that back.  When we lie, we can’t take that back.  The things we do we can’t take back, so it is important to always think about our actions before we do them. It is also important to think about what we are going to say before we say it.
