Pandas Patrol
Hi we are the Panda Patrol.
We have been taking part in different activities recently, including the International Postcard Exchange. it's been really exciting receiving postcards from troops all around the world. Each postcard had information on the back telling us all sorts of things about that Troop and where they live.
We have also been learning some basic life support skills. We learned how to put someone in the recovery position recently, a very important position to help save someone's life. We hope to be able to complete our First Aid badge soon.
In between all of this we like to play games, we like some of our old favourites but we also like to try new ones.
Here is one of our units favourite games
Photographs
Each Patrol works as a team. The leader gives a subject/topic. The Patrols have a set amount of time to arrange themselves into illustrating the topic. When the leader blows the whistle everyone has to become very still like a photograph. The leader looks at each 'photograph' and awards points for the best one. No points for laughing, giggling and moving.
Some of the topics we use are:
| A birthday party. | Granny's party. |
| A wedding. | Theme park thrill ride. |
| At the circus. | A picnic. |
| The seaside. | Camp fire. |
| The Promise ceremony. | Camp. |
| At the dentist. | The Guide meeting. |
E-mail us and tell us what topics you have used. We will add them to the list and say who sent in the ideas. Let's see if we can produce a massive long list between us all!!!
Look forward to hearing from you all,
Signed pandas.
