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. - Mary Had Some Girl Guide Cookies [Tune = Mary Had a Little Lamb]
Mary had some Girl Guide cookies,
Chocolate ones, vanilla ones.

Please buy lots – yum, yum. - GIRL GUIDE COOKIE SONG (Tune of Frere Jacques)

There all gone!
There all gone! - Cookie Time 1 (Tune – Jingle Bells)
Cookie time, cookie time,
It's cookie time again.
Oh what fun it is to sell
to all my wonderful friends - Oh!
Cookie time, cookie time,
It's cookie time again.
Oh what fun it is to sell
to all my wonderful friends.
Dashing down the road
With our Cookies in our hand
Oh what fun it is to play
In air, on sea, and land.
What fun it is to camp,
To sing, and shout, and play,
But we need to raise some funds,
Cookies help us pay our way. - Cookies, Cookies, Brand New Cookies (Tune – Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Cookies, cookies, brand new cookies,
We've got some for you.
Twist them, dunk them, lick them, pop them.
Come and buy a few.
Buy, buy, buy some more,
Buy some more today.
Help the Girl Guides go to camp.
To learn, have fun, and play. - Cookies in the Box (Tune – Farmer in the Dell)
There are cookies in the box,
Cookies in the box,
Chocolate and vanilla too,
There's lots, and lots, and lots.
For crafts, and camp, and fun,
Please help us sell a ton!
Chocolate and vanilIia creams
There's lots for everyone. - I Know Someone You All Know (Tune – Yogi Bear)
