FRIENDSHIP, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND GRATITUDE

Those were the lessons (and badges) we worked on at Girl Scouts today. We broke the girls into two groups: the first did a sock grab and took turns interviewing whoever completed their matching pair while the second group made posters with encouraging words (to place in the girls restrooms at school) and letters of thankfulness (for their teachers). Afterward, we all sat down to craft some turkeys and had the girls write words of gratitude or encouragement on the feathers. We leaders loved how creative the girls were, how hard they worked, and how unique each turkey was.

We had them ask each other their favorite color, favorite food, favorite thing to do after school, and what they want for Christmas, then they stood in front of the group and reported on their friend. It was really cute and I was proud of them for paying such close attention and giving each girl her due time in the spotlight!
