Set up two pieces of chart paper on the floor, one marked “MADE FROM CORN” and the other marked “NOT MADE FROM CORN.” Ask the Tigers to place each strip of paper onto the chart paper they believe is correct. If an item can be made from corn (even if it is not always or entirely made from corn), place it on the “MADE FROM CORN” paper. Adult partners can help to read or explain as needed. At the end, reveal that ALL of the things listed on the strips can be made from corn.

◆Activity 2: Play “Table Manners Relay” (Requirement 5) Materials: manners cards (See Meeting 2 Resources.)
Have each adult partner hand their Tiger a plate labeled “Polite Manners,” a cup marked “Impolite Manners,” and silverware. The Tiger will run to the finish line and set the “table” with their supplies.
The Tiger will then run back to their adult partner, who will draw a card from the ones given for the game. Together, they will decide if the action on the card is polite or impolite. Once they have decided, the Tiger will run to the table and place the card where it belongs—on the plate or in the cup.
The relay continues until all cards have been placed. The first team to finish placing their cards wins!
