Before the meeting: 

  1. Print Matching Game Cards, one set for every two Cub Scouts. 
  2. Cut out the sets of cards. 
  3. Familiarize yourself with the internal components of the computer(s) you will be taking apart and their function.
    Identify the following parts:     

    • Keyboard 
    • mouse 
    • Monitor 
    • Central processing unit (CPU) 
    • Hard drive 
    • Motherboard 
    • Power supply 
    • Random-access memory chip (RAM)

During the meeting: 

  1. Divide the den into groups of two to three Cub Scouts. 
  2. Hand out a deck of cards to each group. 
  3. Ask Cub Scouts to shuffle the cards and place them face-down on the floor or table in front of them. 
  4. The goal of the game is to find the word that matches the computer component picture. The first Cub Scout selects two cards and flips them over. If the picture on the card matches the name of the computer part, the Cub Scout keeps the pair of cards.  
  5. If the two cards do not match, the cards are returned to their starting place and flipped face-down. 
  6. Players take turns until all the cards have been matched and removed. 
  7. The game ends when all the cards are matched. 
  8. The player who matches the most pairs of cards wins the game.
