Bear Den Meeting: "Roaring Laughter" Adventure - Any Experience?

[BetterWithCheddar]

Hello Fellow Scouters: Due mostly to my own lax planning, I'm pulling together plans for tomorrow's Bear den meeting. We'll be working on the "Roaring Laughter" elective adventure. Thankfully, it doesn't look like this one will require too much planning and it's a great activity for an indoor den meeting in the middle of winter.

Requirements are as follows:

1. Think about what makes you laugh. Discuss these with your den or family.
2. Practice reading tongue twisters.
3. Play charades with your den or family.
4. Have a "funniest joke contest" with your den or family.
5. Practice "run-ons" with your den or family.

Has anyone successfully covered this elective with their den?

Any tips for making this a memorable den meeting?

Recommend you choose tongue twisters that do not twist into profanity

Example of a naughty: "I saw Susie sitting in a shoeshine shop"

Example of a nice: "Rubber baby buggy bumpers"

Preview the jokes... make sure they are Scout appropriate.  I know some ditties on dirty underwear that I learned in Scouts as a kid  Not to be told in polite company...
