Light the Candle game is a simple game which works in well with a holiday themed meeting. It only requires a few materials and not much preparation, which makes it ideal in my mind. And it works indoors. It will give your Cub Scouts a chance to run off some energy after they’ve been sitting at a meeting.
And no, this does not involve Cub Scouts playing games with real candles!
Light the Candle Game
No, this does not involve actual candles or flames. This fun game makes a good Christmas party game for young children.
