We continued our WhatsApp meetings this week with the International Badge.
As with all badges at the moment we're being a bit more flexible with the requirements then if it was during meetings to make it more engaging during a virtual meeting.
The criteria for this badge is to:
1) Learn a song, play a game or perform a dance from another country.
2) Find out about Beaver Scouts, or younger Scouts if they don’t have Beaver Scouts, in another country.
3) Play a game to match flags and their countries.
4) Use facts about the countries to help you find the right flag.
5)Try different kinds of food from another country.
Vote for your favourite dish and explain why.
6) Learn how to say hello and goodbye in a language other than your own.
We started off with a colouring activity to introduce Beavers around the world which I found on the 1st Facebook Beaver Scout Colony group.
Once they had completed this they had to use Google to find out how each of these Beavers would say "Hello" and "Goodbye"in their own language and draw the flag from each of their countries.
If they managed to do all of this they had to choose one of the Beavers off their sheet and find out more about them; what do they call themselves? what do they say for their Promise? find a song they might sing in their country.
This took most of the meeting time, so they were challenged over the next few weeks, as freezers may be a little bare at the moment, to taste some foods from different countries (or a few from one country) and vote for their favourite.
