  • Compass 
  • Four pieces of paper, labeled North, South, East, and West 
  • Masking tape 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Make signs for north, south, east, and west. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts that they’re going to play Simon Says Never Eat Soggy Waffles.  
  2. Stand in the center of the room with the compass and ask Cub Scouts to gather around. 
  3. Demonstrate how to use the compass. Discuss which wall is north, south, east, and west. Have a Cub Scout take each of the signs and tape it to the appropriate wall.  
  4. Ask Cub Scouts to line up, side by side. 
  5. Tell Cub Scouts that when they hear “Simon Says” and a direction, they are to turn and face that wall. For example, after “Simon Says East,” Cub Scouts should turn and face the east wall.  
  6. Proceed with calling out directions with and without “Simon Says.” 
  7. Cub Scouts who don’t face the correct wall at the correct time are out. 
  8. Continue playing until there is only one player left.
