Activity [Cookie Rising] {program activity challenge for badge}

  • Cookie box height
    • Have girls measure a cookie box and record how tall it is. Then have them measure each other. Work out each girl’s height in cookie boxes and create a chart or graph to show the height of everyone in the unit. Help the girls figure out how much money it would cost to buy that many boxes of cookies. Then measure other things in the meeting place and figure out how many cookie boxes tall they are.

Game

  • Share a cookie music game [BRING BIG CONSTRUCTION PAPER COOKIES TO PUT YOUR FOOT ON & IPOD WITH KID’S MUSIC]
    • Like musical chairs, but dance around while the music is on and find a cookie to stand on when the music stops. Take away one ‘cookie’ each time the music starts so that, in the end, all the girls share the same cookie

Craft [In My Community - 6] [Cookie Rising]{marketing challenge}

  • make girl guide cookies out of fun foam – put flat pins on the back to wear on their jacket
  • discuss how we can wear our pins all the time and tell others about Girl Guide cookies

      • I Like Vanilla [Tune = I Like the Flowers]
        I like vanilla,
        I love the chocolate mint.
        I like to dunk them
        In a glass of ice-cold milk.
        I’ll eat the whole box,
        When all the lights are down.
        Boom-de-a-da, boom-de-a-da, boom-de-a-da, boom-de-a-da.

        Oh what fun it is to play
