This activity also meets Requirement 2 of the I’ll Do It Myself Elective Adventure
Before the Meeting:
- Set up the meeting location for Cub Scouts and adult partners to work on the activity together.
During the Meeting:
- Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that it is important that we not only eat foods that will keep us healthy and to stay active to exercise our muscles It is also important to give our body a chance to rest and to sleep.
- Share with the Cub Scouts that doing the same thing each night is the same order helps send messages to your body that is it time to go to bed. Share with them that this is called a routine. A regular nightly routine will help you get the rest you need each night. Cub Scouts who are Lions need about 10 hours of sleep each night.
- Have adult partners work with their Cub Scouts to color the activity on page 45 of the Lion handbook.
- When they are done have adult partners talk to Cub Scouts about what time they should be in bed sleeping and what time they need to get up each day. Are they getting enough sleep?
- Have adult partners work with their Cub Scout to put a time when each part of their nightly routine should take place to make sure the Cub Scouts are getting enough sleep.
