can enlarge on a photocopier. Have these “pictures” labeled with numbers and have them hanging around the
meeting room. Also have all of the leaders’ fingerprints with the leaders’ names on a single sheet that you copy

"Police Report" Observation Activity
When people give eyewitness accounts to the police they sometimes vary wildly. Try this exercise to see how
observant your Cubs, parents, siblings, and friends are. Have a person come in with their clothing in some
strange way (plaid pants, unmatched shoes, shirt backwards, carrot hanging from rope around neck, red
bandana, sailor hat, etc.) Do some specific actions (hop part way, bow and kiss someone's hand, crawl under the
table, etc.) This should last about 30 seconds, then leave room. Then second person comes across with different
actions and clothes and exits. Then third person does different things and exits. They should be out of sight but
close enough to come in when you ask. Now, ask the audience questions about clothing, actions, what they
looked like. (Make a list of questions about obscure items, such as who was wearing pink sox or earrings.) Tell
the audience all should learn to be observant and, if they see a crime, should write down what they saw
immediately so they don't get it mixed up.
