Tiger Adventure: Games Tigers Play

Teamwork, sportsmanship, nutrition and fitness are the main points of this first grade adventure.

This loop requires the playing of team-building or "initiative" games to see how each member of the den has an important part to play.  Tigers will also make up games of their own to play with their den, family and/or pack.  They will learn how being active helps to keep them healthy.  They will bring nutritious snacks to keep their bodies energized for the games.

This is a fun way for these wiggly 6-7 year olds to use up that extra energy while learning about being healthy.

You can see the actual requirements for this adventure below:

I love looking at the progression through the ranks... how the responsibilities grow with the boys.  These are the rites of passage I think that so many young boys need as they grow into young men.
