R. R. GAMES, SONG
Building the Union Pacific
Dens line up for relay opposite their spike set
in a timber. Each Cub Scout in turn runs to
spike, picks up hammer, hits spike once, puts down
hammer, runs back and touches off next Cub
Scout. Den that drives spike in first wins. Score
for six places.
Same contest for three mothers from each Den,
except the mothers stand by the timber and do
not have to run.
Runaway Cars
This is a Den or Pack game. It may be played
with individual boys or pairs of boys, one of which
is designated as the locomotive and is "it." The
rest are runaway cars. This is a tag game where
the locomotive tries to catch the runaway cars.
When caught, they hook on behind the locomotive
and the game continues until the train is complete.
Scissors Trick
Two things are needed: a pair of scissors and
24 inches -of cord. Fasten as shown in the diagram.
The trick is to remove the cord without cutting or
untying the cord. Solution: Pass the loop upward
through the thumb hole of the scissors and then
completely over them.
Change Cars
This is a good Den game. Prepare by fastening
to the back of each chair a cut-out picture of
different kinds of railroad cars, such as cabooses,
refrigerators, stock, gondola, tank, tenders and
locomotives. Cub Scouts sit in chairs after decid-
ing the name of the car on their chair. One boy is
"it" and stands in the center of the circle of chairs.
The Den Mother or Den Chief calls the names of
two cars. They both must exchange chairs while
"it" tries to gain possession of one for himself.
The boy without a chair becomes "it."

Grand Central Station
Line up two rows of chairs or benches facing
each other about 30 inches apart. Have players
sit on benches and have several stand. Leader
shouts, "Change for (insert any street name)," and
everyone must change seats with someone else;
those standing try to get a seat. When leader
shouts, "Grand Central Station—Everybody trans-
fers," everyone must go out the front end of the
benches, run around to the back and find a seat.
Those unable to get a seat must stand.
