One Beaver is the leader. The others must follow him wherever he goes and do everything he does. If he hops on his left foot, all must hop on the left foot. If he hits a tree with his hand, every other Beaver must do likewise when passing the tree. Any one failing to follow exactly is out.

Hand Slap

Two Beavers stand facing each other. One Beaver puts their open hands under the hands of the opposite Beaver. The Beaver with their hands on the bottom then tries to slap the hands of the other Beaver. If the other Beaver is able to move their hands before they can be slapped, then they will take up the position on the bottom. If the bottom Beaver manages to slap the other Beaver's hand before he can remove them, then the slapper will continue in the bottom position.

Triangle Tag

To start the game, have three of the Beavers join hands forming a triangle. One Beaver on the triangle is then chosen to be the chasee and faces into the middle of the triangle. The other two Beavers will face outwards and use their bodies as a shield to protect the chasee from the fourth Beaver, the chaser. When the chaser tags the chasee, then the chaser will join the triangle and the chasee will become the chaser. Another Beaver on the triangle is chosen to be the chasee and the game continues until the four Beavers decide to end it.

Bum push

To start, the Beavers get into partner groups and stand back to back. The partners should be approximately the same height and weight for the best results. On the count of three both Beavers try to push each other off balance by only using their bum. The first Beaver to move his feet loses. The loser can challenge the winner again, or find another partner if he wishes to continue with this game.

Broken Telephone

Played in a circle. It starts by having one Beaver whisper a message to the Beaver next to him. The message must be whispered and only said once. The message is passed from Beaver to Beaver until it comes to the last Beaver. The last Beaver then says out loud what he has heard. The first Beaver says what he started with. It is always fun to see how mixed up the message can get by the time it is received by the last Beaver.

Hot Potato Gift (Variation of Hot Potato)

The game starts with everyone sitting or standing in a circle. The wrapped present is then given to one individual in the group.

The leader starts a rhythm by either clapping hands or by singing a simple short song. The present is then passed around the circle as one might pass a hot potato. When the rhythm or song stops (whenever the leader chooses) the Beaver who ends up with the parcel at that moment must take off one layer of wrapping. That individual then leaves the game to join the leader in keeping up the rhythm and the game starts up again. This goes on until there is only one Beaver left to unwrap the present.

Tic Tic BOOM

This game is started with everyone standing in a circle. One Beaver is then chosen to go around the circle tapping Beavers as they go, saying tic, tic, tic, etc. When the chosen Beaver decides he/she yells Boom ! He/she runs off in one direction around the circle and the Beaver who was tapped runs in the other direction. The two race each other back to the original starting point on the circle. The first one back joins the circle. The last one back becomes the Beaver to go around the circle saying tic, tic, tic, etc. Also known under a number of other names, such as Duck Duck Goose.

Circle of Good Cheer

The game starts with everyone sitting in a circle. One Beaver is then chosen to go into the middle and do some-thing silly. Everyone sitting around the circle gives that Beaver a huge round of applause after they have finished doing their silly act. The act itself should only take two or three seconds. Once that Beaver has sat down the Beaver to his left gets up and does his/her sill act, and the game continues until everyone has had a turn.

Gluepots

A game for as many Beavers as possible. One Beaver is chosen to be 'it' and has to chase the other Beavers. Before the games starts, 'it' picks a number of special places to put the people he catches. These are the Beavers gluepots and any Beaver who is put there cannot move. They can be released, however, only if a free player touches their hand - but if the free player makes a mistake and puts a foot into the gluepot, then he is stuck there also.

Elbow Tag

All of the participants, except for one chaser and chasee, are arranged in groups with their elbows locked together and their free arms on their hips. The chasee can join any of these pairs at any time by linking their arm, at the elbow, with he free arm of a partner group. On having joined a pair of Beavers, the Beaver on the opposite side of the partner pair must leave and become the new chasee. If the chaser tags the chasee, then the two change roles and the old chaser can link on to a partner group. This game ends when you, as the play leader, decide to end it.

The Secret Handshake

The Beavers are divided into groups of three or four and asked to make up their own version of a secret handshake. Once each group has chosen their signal for handshake and can recognize it with their eyes closed, they will be ready to begin. The groups are intermingled and everyone closes their eyes. Without talking, each group will now intermingle in an attempt to find their group members. The first group to find all its members, by using the secret handshake, will have won the game. The winners must be together and sitting on the ground.

Skin the Snake

Beavers are divided into two lines, with about ten Beavers to a line. Everyone spreads their legs and passes one hand through their legs to the Beaver behind them. Each Beaver then grabs hold of the hand in front of them and the hand behind them. When everyone has joined their hands in their fashion only the front and last Beavers will have a free hand. The two snakes are now ready to be skinned. To skin the snake, the back Beaver starts the process by sitting down. The whole line of Beavers then shuffles backwards. The back Beaver lies right down as the group continues to move over top of him. As the line moves backwards, each Beaver in turn will sit down and then lie down, spreading their legs to either side of the Beaver lying in front of them. The line keeps moving backwards until everyone is lying down. The snake is now ready to grow a new skin. To grow the skin back, the last Beaver to lie down will stand back up. Once standing. this Beaver then shuffles forward over the other Beavers pulling up others as he moves. Everyone will now rise in turn, as the line moves forward overhead. When everyone has risen and is back in their original places, the activity ends. The first group to complete this task without letting go of any hands, wins the game.

Shoe Mixup

The Beavers are divided into two equal teams. The team members will take off one of their shoes and put them into a pile; with one pile per team. The Beavers will stand about eight feet from their pile waiting for the leader to give the signal to start. On the word 'go', team Beavers will put on a shoe that belongs to another team member. Once the shoes are on, the Beavers must then match up their left and right feet with the other team members wearing similar shoes. The feet of each Beaver must be pressed against the same shoe to be matched. The first team to match all of their feet wins the game.

Animal Walks

Beavers imitate animal walks around the Meeting Place. A Beaver can be leader and pick the animals (giraffe, elephant, caterpillar, etc.)
