Gathering Activity [nedic body image activity]

  • Body pride pledge: reminds girls that there are lots of things about themselves to love and celebrate.
  • have the girls write down (or draw) on a piece of paper three personal traits they like about themselves (Guiders to help). For example, “I am funny, I like my smile, I am a good friend, I am a great soccer player”. Finish each pledge with “I am beautiful”. Have each girl decorate their Body Pride Pledge. Encourage girls to take it home and hang it up in their room so they can be reminded everyday of how special they are.
