Chinese Whispers

October 29, 2007

The leader whispers something into the ear of the first girl who then whispers to the next girl and so on round the circle.  The last girl whispers it to the Leader or says it out loud.

Duck and Goose Promise

October 29, 2007

All girls sit in a circle.  “It” walks around the circle tapping each girl on the head.  As a girl is tapped she has to say the next word in the Promise… if she gets the word wrong, or hesitates too long to remember the word, then she jumps up from her spot and runs around the circle in the opposite direction from “it”.  The first person back to the empty spot sits down and the standee is the new “it”. If there are no wrong words or hesitations, the running takes place on the last word of the promise.

Explain that in the US girls join the Girl Scouts (not the Girl Guides)   Daisy Scouts can earn petals to wear on their uniform by taking part in activities surrounding the Girl Scout Law and Promise.

Daisy Girl Scout Craft – Daisy Petal Bracelet
Supplies:  coloured pony beads (colours of the promise), elastic cord, scissors
Instructions:  Cut each girl a 4—6” piece of elastic cord depending on the size of the girls wrist. Use Pony Beads and elastic cord to make the Daisy petals bracelet. Use two to three pony beads of each colour to make the bracelet large enough to fit the girls writs. String the beads one at a time and go over the different colours and meaning with the girls. Tie off at the end.
Pony Bead Colors and Meanings:
