This is perfect for engaging your Girl Scout troop in a fun and suspenseful game. All you need is black and white pom poms
Here's how to play:
1. Gather the girls in a circle and place all the white pompoms (one for each girl) and the dark-colored pompoms (representing dirty snowballs) in a bag or container.
2. Mix up the pompoms in the bag.
3. The leader starts by taking the bag and going around the circle, with each girl taking turns to pick a pompom without looking.
4. If a girl picks a white pompom, she remains standing. If she picks a dark-colored pompom (representing a dirty snowball), she sits down.
5. Continue going around the circle until all the pompoms have been drawn.
6. The girl who ends up with the last remaining white pompom is the winner of the game!
Get ready for an epic Pom Pom War! This exhilarating activity will bring out the competitive spirit and energy in your Girl Scout troop.
Here's how to play:
1. Start by dividing the room or designated area with tape on the floor, a string, or chairs, creating two sides. Ensure that each side has an equal number of girls, dividing them into teams.
2. Distribute a large number of pom poms of any color or size across the floor, either spread out or in cups for each girl to start with an equal amount.
3. Ready, set, throw! Count down from 3, and then let the girls start throwing the pom poms across to the opposite side. Leaders can set a predetermined time limit for the game.
4. When the time is up, it's clean-up time! Cleaning up the pom poms can be challenging, so make it fun by turning it into a game. Challenge the girls to see who can collect the most pom poms within a given time. This friendly competition will make the clean-up process more exciting and enjoyable.
5. The side with the least amount of pom poms on their side at the end of the game is the winner!
Perfect for larger groups, this activity will encourage teamwork and friendship within your Girl Scout troop.
Here's how to play:
1. Determine the number of groups that can be formed based on the number of different colored pom poms you have. Each group should have the same number of members.
2. Place the different colored pom poms in a bag or container. Instruct the girls to draw a pom pom but keep it a secret until the game starts.
3. Once the game starts, explain to the girls that their task is to find their Pom Pom Sisters, who will have the same color pom pom as them.
4. Encourage the girls to walk around and interact with each other, trying to find other girls with the same colored pom pom as theirs. Once they find their Pom Pom Sisters, they can form a group.
5. Groups can be formed with pairs, trios, or more, depending on the number of girls in your troop and the number of different colored pom poms available.
6. The game is successfully completed when all the girls have found their Pom Pom Sisters and are part of a group.
