Lions do other fun things, too. At one meeting, you’ll make new friends. At another, you’ll go outside and participate in a field day.

You and your friends will talk about things like wearing a helmet, knowing the rules of the road and taking care of your bike. And when you’re done with that, you might play a game with your friends, like tag or maybe a relay race. What if it’s too hot or too cold or too rainy to go outside? That’s OK.
