Equipment: Tube of toothpaste Plate (for the mess) With all the Cubs sitting, ask someone to volunteer to do an experiment with you. Bring them to the front and ask them to squeeze some toothpaste onto some paper. Then when they have done so, ask them to put the toothpaste back into the tube. The youth will quickly discover that it is an impossible feat! Explain to them that you used the toothpaste to demonstrate what hurtful words are like. Once you have squeezed out hurtful words at someone there is nothing you can do to take them back in much like the toothpaste. Stress to them that the words are out there you can t take them back. Therefore, if you think you will want to take them back don t squeeze them out in the first place! Setting Respect Goals Have a discussion with your youth about what they think respect means.

7 Wild Rover I've been a wild rover for many's a year, And I've spent all me money on whisky and beer, But now I'm returning with gold in great store, And I never will play the wild rover no more. (Chorus) And it's no nay never. No nay never no more, Will I play the wild rover, no never no more. I went into an alehouse I used to frequent, And I told the landlady me money was spent, I asked her for credit and she answered me nay, Such a custom as yours I can get any day. (Chorus) I brought up from my pockets 10 sovereigns bright, And the landlady s eyes opened wide with delight She said 'I have got whisky and beers of the best', ANd the words that I told you were only in jest. (Chorus) I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done, And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son, And when they forgive me as oft times before Then I never will play the wild rover no more. (Chorus)

ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed. It rolled off the table and onto the floor. And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door. It rolled in the garden, and under a bush. And now my poor meatball is nothing but mush. A mush that was tasty as tasty could be, And early next summer it grew into a tree. So, if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese, Hold on to your meatball, and don t ever sneeze.
