MINUTE CHALLENGES
There are times when there is a spare moment between a game, a craft, while waiting for the next activity or just before closing parade when you want to keep the Joey Scouts busy, following are some one minute challenges you may wish to try with your Mob:
| Minute Challenge | Minute Challenge |
| Play “I Spy” (with my little eye). Try the traditional colours, but also shapes, and perhaps relative sizes, such as big, small, tiny. | Play “I Spy” (with my little eye). Try the traditional colours, but also shapes, and perhaps relative sizes, such as big, small, tiny. |
| Without looking at a clock or watch, estimate a minute. Start in a sitting position. Joey Scouts stands up once they figure a minute has passed. (Suggest they count to 60 — slowly. Or use “Mississippi’s”). | For a minute: Joey Scouts take their hat off, put it on the floor and stand up. How many times can they take it off and put it back on in a minute?
