Before your Scouts arrive, write the following jumbled
letters on numbered cards. Each represents an animal to be
found in the Zoo. Place the cards in prominent positions
in the room and, after having provided your Scouts with
paper and pencil, invite each to guess as many of the names
as possible.
Allow twenty minutes before giving the answers, or, as an alternative, the competition could continue
the whole evening, the answers being given at the end of the
party. Then guests could fill in odd moments between
other strenuous games by trying to solve some difficult word.
A suitable prize for this competition would be a rubber
animal that may be blown up. This will provide great
amusement for everybody.
