Players

Ideally 5+ scouts

Time

Depending on numbers this could take 2 weekly meetings

Where

Great for a virtual meeting or can be used in the den.

Need a fun uplifting idea for your next meeting? And haven’t a note to sing?

Get each scout to prepare a 90secs performance to a song of their choice. All they have to do is press play on the song and mime their hearts out.

Great idea as scouts don’t have to be worried whether or not they can sing. Also offers a little bit of friendly competition to see who can pick the best song and put on the best performance.

Can be used in other sections.
