Games – Hot and Cold

Items Needed

  • A small object to hide

Instructions

  1. Choose one scout to be the “hunter” and have them leave the room or area.
  2. The group hides the small object somewhere in the designated play area.
  3. Call the hunter back into the room and have them search for the hidden object.
  4. The group provides hints by chanting:
    • Say “colder” if the hunter is far away and moving farther. Use “freezing” or “icy” for extreme distance.
    • Say “hotter” if the hunter is moving closer to the object. Use “burning” or “scorching” when the hunter is very close.
  5. Once the hunter finds the object, celebrate and choose a new hunter for the next round.

Variations

  • Singing: Instead of chanting, the group chooses a song and sings louder as the hunter gets closer to the object and softer as they move farther away.
