Race Memory Tiger

Before the meeting: 

1. Use the rules that are found in the Pinewood Derby® kit or Raingutter Regatta™ kit and identify five or six to use for the memory game. 
2. Contact your pack leadership to find out what additional rules the pack may have and identify five or six to use for the memory game. 
3. If you have a large den, consider selecting more rules to have more memory cards. 
4. Using the index cards write each rule on two cards. 
5. Set up a meeting location to have a space to play the memory game.  Lay out the index cards face down in a location where all Cub Scouts can flip them over when it is their turn.  

During the meeting: 

1. Gather Cub Scouts and let them know about the upcoming race.  Let them know that there are rules to the race and that to learn them they will play a memory game. 
2. Explain the rules of the game. 
3. Pick an order for Cub Scout to go in, for example have them go in order of birth month.  The first Cub Scout flips over two cards, reading each card when it is flipped over.  If the two cards match the Cub Scout picks up the cards and keeps them and gets to go again until they flip two cards that don’t match.  The next Cub Scout then repeats, flipping over two cards, reading them first and if they match, they keep the cards if they don’t the next Cub Scouts goes. 
4. When all cards have been matched the Cub Scout who has the most cards is the winner. 
5. The game should be played twice to help the Cub Scouts learn the rules.
