We printed out the Chart reviewed the alphabet with Cubs. One had done something like and remembered a few of the letters, so he lead the demonstration. With a Chart in hand, each Cub was challenged to sign their name to a leader.
They were then given the Jokes and Riddles to decipher. Kept them busy (and quiet) for 20 minutes or so!
Great activity, recommended.
