  • 1 yo-yo per Cub Scout 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Gather supplies. 
  2. Use the tutorial video on the Yo-Yo Preview Adventure website  and the video How to be a Yo-Yo Ninja: Getting Started, (1:36 minutes) 
  3. Set up meeting space with room for Cub Scouts to use their yo-yo. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Have each Cub Scout stand in the middle of the circle made during the Yo-Yo Be Safe activity and with the yo-yo properly attached to their middle finger. 
  2. Keep the yo-yo in the opposite hand. 
  3. Extend the index finger to cover the gap. 
  4. With the string hand, wind the string over the index finger and around the yo-yo once. 
  5. Withdraw the index finger from covering the gap and continue winding with a couple of wraps. 
  6. Remove the index finger from the string and continue winding the remaining string around the yo-yo. 
  7. Make sure that the string is coming from over the top of the yo-yo when it is completely wound and still in the hand. 

Tip: This activity works best when combined with activities for Requirements 2, 3 and 4.
