Cub Scout Gathering Activity: The Smile Game
The smile game is such a fun game that can be played quickly as a Cub Scout gathering activity or as an active game when the Scouts have been sitting too long.
The other wonderful attribute of this Cub Scout gathering activity game is that there are NO supplies required–just some kiddos!
Pick one person to be the first “it”. The rest of the Cub Scouts circle around “it”. “It” selects a player and walks up to him or her. “It” asks the player, “Honey, do you love me?,” and the person being asked must answer, “Honey, I love you, but I just can’t smile.”
“It” may not touch the player, but they may make funny faces or talk in a funny voice. If the player laughs or smiles, they become “it,” and “it” joins the circle.
I played this with my husband and my Cub Scouts recently, and none of them could keep a straight face when I was “it!” So, expect lots of laughter during the game.
This is a perfect game to play with your Bears when they’re completing the Roaring Laughter adventure.
Yours in Scouting,

I’m thinking this would be a good get to know you game. I’m going to try this tonight, except, instead of honey, do you love me, the kids will say this instead “John (boy’s name), are you my friend?” John then replies “Matt (name of person who is it), I am your friend, but I just can’t smile.”
