About this deal

Set up a hoop or mark out a space with cones for the farmer’s den. An adult volunteer or young leader can monitor the den to make sure sheep are arriving with another sheep. Split the group into two teams, then divide space into two areas (one for each team) with a line of tape, cones or chalk. Each team should get into their space and stand along the line, making sure they’re facing the other team. A team captain should be chosen from each team and stand behind their team. Can you copy the person in the middle in Punchinella, little fella, a traditional Jamaican children’s game? When there’re only two teams left in play, the game can end. The winning team is the one with the most tokens in their nest!

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t generally look at the Spiel des Jahres nominees as a barometer for games I’ll enjoy. There have been games nominated in the past that I’ve not liked or had indifferent experiences with. However, Scout lives up to the hype.How many items can you remember? Put your team to the test in and keep your Eyes on the prize in this exciting, upgraded version of ‘Kim’s Game.’ The Mine Field (15-30 minutes) – The idea behind this exercise is to improve team members’ trust, their relationship, and to communicate in a more effective way. You will need an open space such as an empty room or hallway in which you will distribute ‘mines’ that are placed haphazardly around the area. The ‘mine’s can be cones, balls, bottles etc. Team members are paired into teams of two. One team member will be blindfolded and the other can see and talk, but is not allowed to enter the field or touch their partner. The challenge is for the blind-folded person to walk from one side of the field to the other, avoiding the mines by listening to the verbal instructions of their partners. (Optional: Have more than 1 pair walking through the mine simultaneously, so the difficulty of focusing and listening to the right instructions increases) With the addition of just one extra person you may set off an incredible chain reaction that helps you create a show that no other circus will be able to surpass. The other issue is the theme. At the time of writing, I’ve played Scout numerous times at different player counts, and I still had to look at the rulebook to read what the theme was. There’s even names on top of the cards which serve no purpose, other than to try and make the theme feel present. I’m not mad at that though, because I imagine trying to evoke a theme in any card game isn’t easy.

Will you battle with your current members? Or will you wait it out and try to recruit different ones? Dragon-boating (2-4 hours) — Who said all team building activities need to be indoors? Head out with your team for some sun! Try dragon-boating or double-kayaking, which requires good teamwork. Include a race if possible. Play Foxes and rabbits to see if the rabbits stay safely in the warren, or if the foxes catch them out.When the game begins, players should try to capture the other team’s flag. Some players may choose to help defend their own team’s flag, but no one should be standing directly in front of their team’s flag at any time. Once a pedlar has put the smuggler’s treasure in their base, the pedlars can continue to collect treasure from other smugglers, one at a time. Before playing a wide game, there are some things you need to do to help keep everybody safe, which include: Give each team a box or hoop to put their treasure in. This’ll be that team's base. Teams can only add or take treasure from their own base.

The survivors could work as a team to distract the dragons, while someone takes their ‘flare’ from the ‘boat’ to the ‘beach’. People can also run in pairs.You’ll have to sneak and tiptoe to get the pirate’s map. Will you succeed first time in Don’t wake the pirate? Pair up if in public: If playing in a public space, making sure young people are paired up, so no young person is left alone. They should run, hide, play or move together. Using the members of your circus you must put together a show that will beat out your rivals. Everyone on your team has a specific role. To fill in the gaps on your team, try to scout members away from other circus groups! To begin, each team turns and looks at their team captain. The team should decide together whether they’ll be giants, wizards or elves, without making it obvious to the other team. People could do the actions or whisper their choice. The team captain can help lead the decision. When the game starts, everyone can then run towards the balls, trying to collect the two balls belonging to their team, as well as claim the neutral ball.

Their goal is to find at least one other and go together to the farmer’s den, while avoiding capture by the shepherds. To help find each other, baa like a sheep as loudly as possible. The smugglers and pedlars need to have more treasure in the pedlar base to win or the coastguards need to have more treasure in the coastguard base to win.Decide on another type of token, different to the ones given to players, such as a different coloured counter or card. Place these tokens into the central nest. These more exciting tokens are worth two points each, but must be collected by two people at a time.
