Time Activity Program Opening Game Horseshoe I Game Print off the game at the back of this meeting. You will need one copy of the laws and as many copies of the I statements as you have teams. I would have the I statements copied on to a separate colour per team to keep it easy to organize. Cut up the laws and place them around the room. Give each team a set of the I statements cut up. As a team they need to read them and place them at the law that they believe it belongs to. After the game you can go over any statements that people disagreed on. Remember that there may be a few spots for some statements. You in Guiding- Understanding the promise, Law and Motto #1 Game COLOURFUL LAW Equipment: the law from the I game cut up per team (seven per team) seven pieces of coloured construction paper in seven different colours (per team) You in Guiding- Understanding the promise, Law and Motto #1 Give each team the laws you printed off form the I game as well as the seven different colours of construction paper. The girls have to match each part of Law to a coloured strip and then explain why they think that part of the Law is that colour. This is a great activity to work together and come to a consensus as a team.
Craft Law wall hanger You ll need: coloured large craft sticks, ribbon, sharpies, glue gun Have the girls write down parts of the law on each popsicle stick. Then take 2 long pieces of ribbon and have the girls glue them onto the ribbons in order one on each side. I have places a picture of one on the side of a Girl Scout one. Once they are all glued in place they can tie the two ribbons together at the top. photo from: http://media-cacheak0.pinimg.com/originals/66/16/8f/66168fe4a007dc3670bff0e9622e77db.jpg game Song Closing Paper Bag Law You ll need: one paper bag per team that you have put all sorts of objects in such as bandaids, a screwdriver, a photo, a twig, a hair elastic etc What to do: Give each team a bag and have them come up with a way to use each object for one of the Guiding laws. If you have time you can come back together and share with the larger group some of the ideas that each team come up with. An example: I would use a screwdriver to fix my bike instead of just buying a new one.using my resources wisely.
