These games are tried and tested on scouts - and they know what they like - so are the best that you can get!They can be played at scout meetings but also at schools and youth groups - even at home indoors or in the garden. They can be played by all ages."501 Fabulous Social Distancing Games for Scouts" will especially help keep young people playing every bit as much as they ever did. There may not be any grabbing, pushing, tackling, tagging or hugging but that still leaves plenty of talking, thinking, walking, running, throwing and catching and much more besides.There are a few changes to "normal" games. In the relay games scouts are used to tagging the next person in their team, now they will have to do a thumbs up or make sure they've crossed the line before the next team member goes off. In circle games the circles will just need to be just that little bit bigger. In team games there will be less running around and more staying on the spot with more space around each person. You may have to mark their position to discourage them from moving when you're not looking. Instead of passing it may be necessary to throw. When throwing is not possible pass and receive at arm's length. In all the games it will be a case of making sure that everyone is spaced out more and that they're more aware of what's around them.The games aren't categorised in any way. It's an A to Z of fun. Just dip in and find some gems!
