Before the meeting: 

  1. Lay out your poster board horizontally or vertically, depending on your preference. Use a ruler to create a large table with six rows and four columns for your categories and point values. 
  2. Write the names of the categories in the top row:  Fishing Safety, Fishing Equipment, Types of Bait, and Cub Scout Six Essentials. 
  3. Print the clues from Tacklebox Trivia and cut them out. 
  4. Tape or glue each clue into one of the boxes in the correct category. 
  5. Write the point values (100, 200, 300, 400, and 500) onto individual Post-it notes. You’ll need four sets, one for each category. 
  6. Place the Post-it notes over the clues. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Divide Cub Scouts into two or three groups.  
  2. Before beginning the game, ask an adult to determine which team raises their hand first and to keep score. 
  3. Explain the game rules to Cub Scouts. After a clue is read, the first team to raise one of their hands is called on to try to answer the clue. If they answer correctly, they are awarded the value of the points. Their answer must be in the form of a question (who is, what is, etc.). 
  4. Ask one of the teams to select a category and point value. 
  5. Remove the Post-it note from the selected clue, and read it to the teams. 
  6. Call on the first team that raises their hand. 
  7. If the team gives the correct answer in the correct format, they are awarded the points. If they answer incorrectly, the points are deducted from their score, and another team is allowed to answer. 
  8. The team that gives the correct answer selects the next category and point value. 
  9. Continue playing until all the categories and points have been answered.
