THE LARGE GAMEBOARD GAME
Using masking tape or sheets of paper as stepping stones, lay out a large board. It can be a grid, or a curving path, or any type of game board of your choosing.
Divide the pack into three-five small groups (use sixes if you'd like.)
Make a set of cards, each with a question -- trivia, ethics questions, Scouting questions, etc. This is your chance to work in some good questions for the subject of your choice, including spirituality.
Make a large die. Cardboard or foam are excellent for the purpose.
Each team goes in the same order each round. The first member for each team rolls the die and moves that many spaces on the board. When she arrives at the destination square a card is read. If the answer is correct she may move ahead another two squares. If the answer is incorrect then she must move back two squares (or to the beginning if the near the start), and the next team to go gets a chance to answer. If they are correct they may move ahead one square, if wrong they move back one square.
Then go on to the next team (even if they've just answered a missed question.)
When the team's turn comes around again, the next team member rolls and moves on from where the first finished. The first player may return to the six.
If a player lands on the same square as another, a simple game of Rock, Scissors, Paper will determine who has to move back.
The winning team is the first to cross the finish line, and correctly answer a question. If the question is not answered correctly, the player moving must move back four spaces from the end.
THE MOVIE GAME
Set the scene. Choose three or four actors, a director, and a cameraman. The actors have to ad lib the scene. The cameraman pretends to film the scene. When the director yells cut the Cubs have to trade places and continue. The remaining Cubs are the audience. Swap regularly.
The scenes can be situations that require someone to think about doing a good deed, or to demonstrate a good human quality.
Discuss the results afterwards.
