Normally, I like to try to cover the requirements for an achievement together. For Tiger Achievement 4 – How I Tell It, I found it easier to split them up though.
Requirement 4F needs to be done at home during a family meal. For the “Go See It” for this achievement, one of my dens visited a local community newspaper. The other den visited the local Radio Disney radio station. Both of these were fun visits for the kids and the staff at both locations were clearly used to taking kids on tour. At the newspaper, they let them get on the computer and design their own front page. And at the radio station, they got to make some promo spots for the station.
So that leave requirement 4D – Play Tell It Like It Isn’t – to do at a regular den meeting. One way is to just do this at a meeting focused on another requirement. This game is basically the game most of us know as “telephone”, so it is pretty easy to work in.
Another option is to have a den meeting focused on requirement 4D and some of the electives which relate to communication. That is what this den meeting plan does.
A third option would be to do a meeting which does requirement 4D and the requirements for the Communicating belt loop and pin.
