First Farndon Scout Group

This set of cards is designed to teach Cub Scouts the road signs used in the UK.

Cut out all the road signs from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sheets, and place them around the meeting hall.
Split the pack into even groups (the sixes are ideal for this, as they give a mix of age and ability).
Running as a relay race, the Leader calls out one of the signs from the first sheet, and the first cub in each six must try to find it.
The first six to return with the correct sign earns one point.

If you have access to a laminator, its a good idea to laminate both the signs and the score sheet, so that they may be used more than once. Non-permanent OHP pens may be used for marking laminated sheets, and then wiped off with a damp cloth later.

For the Cubs to get the most from this game, it should be played at least two or three times, so that they become familiar with the signs.
