World Thinking Day is February 22nd every year!
When planning your troops World Thinking Day event you may choose to find countries where Girl Guiding or Girl Scouts exists. Learn a game, song, craft, recipe, or activity unique to those countries and share it with your girls.
Another idea is to learn more about the 5 WAGGGS World Centres. Below are a few ideas for activities to go with each one and a great memory game to teach the girls all about the following 5 World Centre locations:
Use the Around the World Memory Game Activity Booklet to teach your girls 12 different facts about each of the 5 World Centre locations: Mexico, Switzerland, India, Africa and the United Kingdom.
The booklet will give you 4 different ways to play the game. You can play with younger girls a more standard matching game printing the cards twice and finding the pairs, you can make it more difficult for older girls where they must find all the cards matching their country card. You can’t ask for a easier way to plan a international party with your girls. Print, gather supplies and just have fun. Learn more and get yours today!

You will need corn tortillas and a permanent marker. Have each girl write their name on a tortilla and then have them all stand on a starting line and throw their tortillas. The one with the tortilla that went the furthest wins.
This is a traditional Mexican game that can be played by many ages and uses a Pirinola (6 sided spinning top).
All you have to do is have the kids sit in a circle on the floor. You will need beans or some type of candy or pennies to use as tokens. Have them place one of their tokens in the middle of the floor when it is their turn and spin the pirinola. Then they follow the directions that are on the pirinola based on how it falls.
The winner is the player that collects all the tokens!

Get some fake flowers and give each girl a flower (if its nice where you live in February and there are real flowers outside feel free to use those) Each girl will stand with flower in between feet and toss in air and catch it on their foot. See how many times they can do it without dropping or losing balance. It is pretty hard but you can tell the girls in India children will often catch it 100+ times in a row.

Girls sit in a circle around a bowl filled with 20 to 30 marbles, small stones etc. The first player picks one up and throws in air – make sure girls dont throw high that could hurt someone.
