What does it mean to be a good helper? MaryAlyce, Mary Virginia and Juliet talked about this and listened to a story told by me about "brownie helpers." They learned that they should be good helpers at home without being asked all the time by their moms and dads. They are showing off their "helping hands" pictures which they made.
MaryAlyce, MaryVirginia, and Juliet worked on a craft to earn one of their Daisy petals. They traced their hands, wrote their names on them, and then shared their helping hands with each other. They also got little papers they cut out that say .... A Daisy Girl Scout Helper Was Here. The girls signed their names on each slip and when they do a good deed for someone (without being asked!), they can leave one of the little paper to let someone know they helped.
I was leading the meeting this night and decided to teach the girls how to share "fairly" in a concrete way. Treats....what a motivator! MaryAlyce and I picked up a few fun items from the dollar store and filled a little basket. The girls had to figure out how to divide up all of the items in a fair way...and include the three girls who were unable to be at the meeting on this night. They created take-home, goody bags filled with erasers, candy, cookie cutters, headbands and pennies. They did a good job dividing things up!!
