Shere Khan Olympics

Shere Khan Olympics
BALOO’S CAVE
Beliefs & Values
The Adventure:
In The Jungle Book, Shere Khan the tiger was the most feared animal in the whole jungle. But do you
remember that he had a limp? Of course, this didn’t keep him from being a successful hunter.
Lots of people have different disabilities to overcome as well. Their obstacles don’t prevent them from
pursuing adventures, however.
As a Lair, organize a mini Olympics. Think of three sports or games that are played by athletes with
disabilities, then compete in the same way against other Cubs in your Pack.
Plan:
• What sports or games do Cubs in your Lair enjoy and how
are they adapted for people with disabilities?
• When will you hold the mini-Olympics?
• What games or sports will you include?
• What equipment will you need?
• What skills do you need to learn ahead of time?

Review:
Safety note:
When your Lair decides on the events for the
Olympics, think of what equipment (helmets, crash
pads, etc.) may be needed to prevent an injury if
somebody takes a spill.
