"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.
