Cub Scouts put their creativity to the test during a visit to a board game shop.
The 6th Devizes Cubs visited Game Knights at the start of the spring term, where they took part in game design activities and played a number of different board and card games.
They were challenged by the shop’s team to design their own games, including the concept, rules and gameplay.
The visit contributed towards several of their Cub badges.
A spokesman for 6th Devizes Cubs said: "All of us at 6th Devizes Cubs would like to thank Game Knights for their kind hospitality and friendship."
The following week, the Cubs began designing their own games, which they later presented in teams to Mary, one of the shop’s owners.
They described their game concepts, aims, rules, and the design process.
While each team presented, the other Cubs continued exploring the shop’s collection.
Mary, one of the shop’s owners, said: "I had the pleasure of spending time with the Cubs on Monday, and I was genuinely impressed by their board game designs and the creativity behind their ideas.
"They were enthusiastic, confident and did a fantastic job explaining both their concepts and how to play the games.
"We became so engrossed in playing and discussing them that time simply flew by.
"It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and they should all be very proud of what they created."
The evening ended with a special moment as the highest award in the Cub section was presented.
Cub Lucas received the Chief Scouts Silver Award, the first to be presented at Game Knights.
The Cub spokesman said: "Lucas worked hard on all his badges and this one still came as a slight surprise, which made it that bit extra special.
"Lucas mother, Tracey, was also there, to see her son be presented with his Chief Scouts Silver Award."
