Brass Rubbing Race


Equipment

Heavy duty paper or brown wrapping paper
A Thick wax crayon per team

Game Description

On the command go, each patrol leaves the hut in search of roadsigns to rub. They have to make up the phrase "BE PREPARED" on the sheet of paper. They have to brass rub the letters onto the sheet of paper with the wax crayon, from the road signs. The first patrol back with the completed phrase are the winners. This is an excellent game as it makes the scouts think of all the road names in their locality that might contain the letters they need. You can of course use other phrases for repeated use. It is also a good idea to supply each patrol with a damp cloth, this is to clean the road sign of wax crayon should the paper split.
