The last Meeting of the Spring Term for the Beavers had an Egg Theme.

I had made Plaster of Paris Easter Eggs using cake moulds. The Beavers used felt tip pens to colour them in. 🥚

The other week I was given some seasonal craft things for free, and so I also had a few polystyrene eggs with me. I suggested they use PVA glue and cover them in some of the sparkly stars and glittery things we had.

But no, they wanted to use felt tip pens on those too. So we let them. 🤷

I then ran a few variations on a speed egg collection game. We only have 4 in the Section currently unfortunately, so each was given a laundry basket at a compass point & I dumped a whole load of plastic eggs in the centre point, counted down from 3 & they had to collect them as fast as they could. We lost some eggs, they got stood on & broke.

Later variation was in teams of pairs facing each other, we swapped teammates each game too.

They were given chocolate eggs to finish.

….To be clear, the chocolate eggs were to eat, they didn’t play the game using them. 🤔 😆
