  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, page 21 
  • Crayons, red and green enough to share 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Identify a safe area free of obstacles for Cub Scouts and adult partners to play red light, green light. 
  2. Become familiar with how to play red light, green light. 
  3. Start with Cub Scouts and adult partners along the starting line the game leader stands at the finish line about 25 yards away. When the game leader says ‘Green Light’ everyone will move towards the finish line. When the game leader says ‘Red Light’ everyone must immediately stop. If Cub Scouts or adult partners are still moving when you call ‘Red Light’, they must go back to the starting line. Start a new round when the first person crosses the finish line, they then get to be the game leader. 
  4. Set up the meeting location so Cub Scouts and adult partners can complete the activity together. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that it is important to always pay attention when we are walking across a street or when we are walking in a parking lot.  You should always look all around you and pay attention to every car you can see.  Just because you can see the car doesn’t mean they can or do see you. 
  2. When we cross the street, we want to use a crosswalk and pay attention to when we can walk. 
  3. Have Cub Scouts work with their adult partner to complete the activity on page 21 of the Lion handbook. 
  4. When they are done, gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners to play a game of red light, green light. 
  5. Play red light, green light.
