Cubs – CHOCOLATE – Aug 09

That was the party theme for the 1st day back in Term 3 2009 and by
the end of the night everyone was over chocolate (that has to be a
first for cubs doesn’t it).

We started the night with a knot tying competition which included
doing a clove hitch with a jelly snake and also a 2 cub one-handed
reef knot. Everyone improved their knots significantly!

Then we had a game of Malteser Athletics where cubs in their six relay
had to blow a malteser across the floor to their team mate until all
the pack had completed. That got rid of some hot air and helped clean
the floor (sorry parents about the dirty clothes).

Chocolate cutting was Wallabies favourite chocolate game where each
six got a family size block of chocolate and on throwing the dice had
to cut (with knife and fork – you see we even teach cubs good table
manners) the squares of chocolate and eat them before a six was rolled
- it then got passed to the next cub.

Now I have to say the desire for chocolate was starting to wane a
little however the 1st Caringbah Cub pack soldiered on – the final
game involved running (to burn some chocolate calories) around the
pack circle before picking up maltesers with chop sticks.

Then….more food – party pies, chocolate fudge, chocolate crackles,
chocolate sprinkles, chocolate biscuits and washed all down with Milo.

Hmmmm I think we cured them all of craving chocolate. A lot of cubs
went to a lot of trouble dressing in their favourite chocolate. Hope
you had a good night.

Special thanks to Wallaby for assisting with the planning and buying
all the food (even though she could not be there), and to Bridget and
Melissa for cooking and cleaning up so well.
