Games

From ScoutHelp

When running a game it is important to make sure that you:

• Make Sure that you have all the equipment before you start playing.
• Make sure that you have enough players.
• Get players into start position before you explain the rules.
• Explain the rules slowly and clearly
• Make sure everyone knows the boundaries
• Don't assume that everyone knows the rules even in a very simple game.
• Choose the right game for the occasion
• Make sure YOU understand the game before playing it
• Make sure you give the game a name so they can ask so it again
• Never play the same game each week
• Use different types of games
• If a game doesn't go to plan change the rules as you are playing
• Make teams and pair even
• Do a trail run with a couple of team members
