• Begin by writing out the five steps of conflict resolution (see below) on two sets of flash cards. Set up your play area according to the diagram below. Put an object that represents honey in the “Treasure Room”.  
• Divide your group into two equal teams: the Bears and the Bees. The Bears will choose one Scout to be “Mama” bear.  
• The Bears and the Bees are in conflict: the bears love honey and they want to take it from the Bees! To win the game, a team must “discover” the five steps to peaceful conflict resolution. The team in possession of the honey after each round wins that round and gains a conflict-resolution card.  
• On the playing field, a Bee can sting (touch) a Bear. If a Bear is stung, he or she is eliminated for the round. Bears cannot sting Bees, except for Mama Bear. She is special; she can never be stung by a Bee because of her thick coat, but she can swipe them out of the air (eliminate them from the round by touching them). Any Bears or Bees that run out of bounds are eliminated for the round. 
• Bears are safe while in the Forest or in the Treasure Room. The Bees cannot enter these areas. The Bees are safe while in the Beehive; Mama Bear cannot go in.  
• To win a round, the Bears have to grab the honey and make it back to their Safety Zone without being stung by a Bee. The Bees can win a round by saving their honey, either by stinging all of the Bears or by stinging the Bear who has taken the honey.  
• Switch roles after each round and play until the Bears or the Bees have all of the steps needed to peacefully solve the conflict.
