Come all, Sing good night,

Goodnight
The land before time
The Land of Time
A mix of games and trails to enjoy yourselves with TIME challenges. Our Guides did.
White Rabbit has rushed ahead to keep a very important date in the Land of Time. When he came through here he was very worried because he had dropped his beautiful gold watch and couldn’t find it. To travel through the Land of Time every one must wear a watch to help them find their way. The White Rabbit asked if anyone finds his watch, could they please deliver it to his home and leave it on the front door step.
Instructions:
• Give each Guide a paper watch to wear showing the same time.
• Name each patrol—blue train, red train, green train, orange train etc.
• Find your train station (stations have corresponding colours).
• At each station the leader gives each patrol an envelope which reads: From your Station Master, Mr Backwards. Inside is a message which reads backwards:
/ have seen something gold shining near: toadstools, a fire place, cupboard, cork box. |
After the Guides have deciphered the message and have found a piece of the White Rabbit’s watch the leader says: “The watch piece is very precious and it needs to be carefully carried to the White Rabbit’s home so it can be mended. It must always be carried in someone’s hand and never be put down again until it is delivered.”
Each patrol now forms a train and is given words to say whenever they are travelling around:
blue says: digital clock, digital clock,
red says: grandfather clock, grandfather clock.
green says: cuckoo clock, cuckoo clock,
orange says: tic toe, tic toe.
When the train whistle blows it is time to move on to the next activity. Before leaving the station, the ’round robin’ begins:
1. On a large clock face at the station the Leader turns the hands to different times. The Guides discuss the time. When the hands are the same as their own watches, the train leaves the station and moves to the first activity.
2. Game as a unit: ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf.
3. Hickory Dickory Dock: Cardboard mice with a hole for a tail to be attached. The mice have run through the kitchen and the farmer’s wife has cut off their tails. The Guides must learn to attach a string tail on the mice using two half hitches.
4. Judging the time: Using a clock with a second hand, first count out one minute by seconds. Then standing away from the clock, judge one minute and sit down. Try sitting with eyes closed, then after one minute open them and stand up.
5. Across the ‘ice flow’: Learn to tie a reef knot. Join all the pieces of rope together then throw the rope across the ‘ice flow’ before it melts. Walk across the rope, but do not fall in. Try to complete the task before the next train whistle. If you finish early untie rope and throw back across for the next Patrol.
6. The crocodile from Peter Pan is lurking about. There are a variety of activities to try but keep a watch out for the crocodile. You know he is coming when you hear a bell. Quickly huddle together for safety and he will leave you alone. Go back to what you were doing and continue counting from where you left off. skip rope … count
• hop on one leg … count
• bounce a ball… count
• squat up and down … count
• pat a ball in the air with your hand … count.
7. Read the time relay: (as a unit) Each Patrol has a large clock with hands that move. In front of eachPatrol is a pile of small clock pictures showing different times. In a relay, a picture is picked up and the Guide sets the large clock to the time on that picture after discussing what the time is with her patrol. She then runs with the clock to the Leader at the end of the hall to show and tell her the time. She then returns for the next Guide in line to take her turn. Set a digital alarm clock to go off near the end of the meeting allowing enough time to find the White Rabbit’s hole and return the watch pieces. The White Rabbit has left as a reward for finding his watch a packet of Tic Toe biscuits.
SONGS etc ‘H & I’
Where possible throughout the index of songs, chants, yells shirts etc has hand the prefixes ‘the’ or ‘a’ removed from the title.
Rac Wac 2008
Late 2007 saw the guides plan there own Rac Wac [Race around Churchill/ Wheel and Churchill.] They planned the route together. One Guide stated she would like to organise some of the other Guides to help her over the end of Year brake from school.
Early the next year the menu was finaised as the guides wanted a BBQ at the end of the Rac Wac. Parents were organised to follow everyone around the desired route. Which was altered for some reaason known to the Guides themselves.
Half way round one Patrol was sat down and they had to explain to the Leaders and the Gipps Guide, what an asthma management plan was, what they should do to lessen the chance of an attach brought on by a sudden wind change in the early evening and when they would have to be responsible to phone an ambulance. What the number of the Emergency services was and what to tell then. With this breather done they procceded to walk to the BBQ a[and toilet] area.
Games played by the Hazelwood and Churchill Guides
As time moves on I will be adding more games that have been played in the Hazelwood and Churchill Guide Units, used on camps, been trained with or learned through, activities and so on. Comments and observations, or variations from the Guides themselves may at times find themselves included. Feed back would be good.

Through out this site there are articles written about what we as guide leaders of over 20 years experience in Guiding have seen. Either as youth members ourselves, or what our daughters, their friends and other Guides have done or written from both a Leader of Youth or a District Leaders perspective.
