Otter Games

This is a blend of the red paw and blue paw, and it's an excellent opportunity for the Otters to take a leadership role and share games and activities that they love. You can also use this meeting to give the kids a chance to do set up and clean up of the activities. Before the meeting you will need to ask the kids to bring a favorite game or activity to share with the group.
