Activity Description: Youth identify with specific traits or experiences in a group activity.
Items Needed:
- None (just the group and their creativity!)
- (Optional) Something to mark their spots or have chairs for each scout.
Instructions:
- Have all youth gather in a circle. (Optional – you can mark their spots or have chairs.)
- The leader stands in the middle of the circle and says, “My Scouts who…” followed by something about themselves (e.g., “My Scouts who wear glasses”).
- Any youth who relates to the saying must move to a new spot in the circle.
- The youth left without a spot moves to the middle and becomes the new leader.
- Repeat the game for as many rounds as you like, using different sayings.
Example Sayings:
- Have on tennis shoes
- Wear glasses
- Have been to camp
- Have a sibling
- Have pets
- Have brown hair
