Core Value-Citizenship

This months core value that I was teaching at Round Table is Citizenship. When I started trying to come up with ideas to teach I thought about citizenship bingo and figured there had to be something online that was already made, so I went on a google search and found that there are some citizenship bingo games, but not exactly what I wanted so I started making my own and using different quiz's and trivia on citizenship to make what I wanted. I figured I would kill two birds with one stone, and use this not only to teach at round table, but also to use as a rotation for our pack meeting next month.(I am so ahead of the game this time).

This would have been fine, except one night I was lying in bed and the thought came to me to make a citizenship bingo game that actually passes off something. So the next day I pulled out the wolf and bear book and went through the section on the flag and citizenship. I took everything from both books that the boys had to know and turned them into questions and put the answers on the bingo board. 

You can elaborate on any of the questions and teach them more if you like as you play.
When played this will pass off Wolf A2b(part) A2d, and Bear A3e.

I made 15 pages of cards with 2 cards on each page (30 cards total and they all answers in different boxes so not everyone gets bingo at the same time). To get the bingo cards you can download them HERE or email me or leave comment with your email address and I will send them to you.

I also made these flag ceremony badges to help the boys when they are doing flag ceremony.
I used the id badges and one side put the opening flag ceremony and on the other side I did the closing flag ceremony. You can make one for each boy or just make one and clip it on their shirt or hang it on a lanyard for them to use during flag ceremony.

The printable is sized for use with the id holders from Walmart(I am pretty sure they are Walmart brand it didn't really have a brand name on the container). Download the printable HERE. It was being tempermental for me and looked funny in the download box, but when I downloaded it, it opened just fine, but if it doesn't work for you email me or leave a comment with your email address and I will be glad to send it to you.

  1. Thank you! What is the "Two" on number 8? We're never sure we're doing our flag ceremonies correctly.

    1. The Two means hold your salute for 2 more seconds and then stop saluting. I'm sure there is a better explanation as to why, but that's basically it.

    2. Present Arms = Scout Salute
      Order Arms = Two = End Salute

  2. These are great! The only thing I would suggest as a change would be on the closing ceremony; you have "retire the colors" which should be "retrieve the colors". Retiring the colors is part of another ceremony in which the flags are in such poor conditions that they are retired in a fire.
