Before the meeting:

  1. Print the charade slips, Knife Safety Rules Charades, one copy.
  2. Cut out the individual squares. You will have 12 squares, 3 sets of each of the 4 rules.
  3. Fold each piece of paper and put them in the container.

During the meeting:

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts that they’re going to play charades where they’ll be acting out one of the knife safety rules. One rule is written on a slip of paper. They must act out the rule without any words, just actions.
  2. Have one Cub Scout take a slip of paper from the bowl and act out the knife safety rule that’s on it.
  3. Ask the other Cub Scouts to guess what rule they’re acting out.
  4. As each rule is guessed, pause the game and have a discussion on the reason for the rule.
  5. Continue the game until everyone has had a chance to be the actor.
