Knights Theme Class: Chivalry

Tigers, Wolves and Bears: Promise, Motto, Law of the Pack, Core Values


Webelos: scout oath, law, motto, slogan, outdoor code

background: Chivalry is a term related to the medieval institution of knighthood. It is usually associated with ideals of knightly virtues, honour and courtly love. The word comes from the French word chevalier which means knight.
We likened the cub scout promise, slogan, and law of the pack as examples of chivalry. We did some games to work on memorizing them.

Throw the ball game: Have the boys stand in a circle. The boy says one word from the thing you are memorizing and tosses the ball to someone else who adds the next word. Continue throwing the ball until the phrase is complete.

Toss and Answer: Make a large square on the ground with spray paint. Divide it into 9 sections. Place an index card in each section with something they are working on (ex. Cub sign, salute, law of pack, motto, promise, core values. Divide the boys into two teams, giving each a different color bean bag. Have the boys toss a bean bag at the grid and recite what they land on. If they get it correct, their marker remains. 1st to get three in a row wins.

I made bingo cards with the core values and the boys used skittles as markers.

I used this bingo card generator for my cards.

This was a great time to do a character connection about one of the core values.
