Daisy Circle: Talk about
Helpers (introduce Police Officer). What are some helpful things a policeman
does? What can we do to be helpful to a
police officer? Talk about
being friendly. Ask:
·
How does it feel when someone is
friendly to you?
·
How does it feel when someone is
unfriendly?
·
What are some things you can do to make
people feel welcomed and included?
·
What do you do to help out at home? At
school? In Girl Scouts?
·
Why is it important to help others?
Game: “Friendly or Not?”
1. Ask the girls to stand single-file along the marked line (use masking
tape or other demarcation)
2. Tell girls that you are going to call out some behaviors, or
ways that people act. Girls should decide if the behavior is friendly or not
friendly. If they think it is friendly, they should jump to the “Friendly” side
of the line. If they think it is not friendly, they should jump to the “Not
Friendly” side of the line.
