Provide the girls with a variety of colored painter's tape and let them create their own masterpieces on a designated wall or surface. They can tear and stick the tape to create different shapes, patterns, and designs.


Encourage the girls to be imaginative and express themselves through their tape artwork. They can work individually or collaborate on a larger piece of art. Once the artwork is complete, host a gallery walk where the girls can showcase their creations and appreciate each other's work. 

Painters Tape Hopscotch Tournament

Take the classic hopscotch game to the next level with a Tape Hopscotch Tournaments.

Once the grids are ready, the teams can compete against each other in a hopscotch tournament. The girls will take turns hopping through their and other teams' hopscotch grids, following the rules and challenges.


Painters Tape Target Practice

Test your Girl Scouts' aim and accuracy with a Painters Tape Target Practice. Create targets on a wall or floor using painter's tape. The targets can be of different shapes and sizes, and you can assign different point values to each target. The girls can then take turns throwing or shooting soft objects, such as bean bags or Nerf darts, at the targets to score points.


You can increase the distance between the targets and the throwing/shooting point to make the game more challenging. You can also add obstacles or create moving targets using tape.

Painters Tape Race Track

Transform any space into a thrilling race track with painter's tape. Create a track on the floor or a table using tape, making twists, turns, and straight sections. The girls can then use small toy cars or other vehicles to race against each other.


To make the race more exciting, you can add obstacles or challenges along the track. For example, you can create "speed bumps" using folded tape or "pit stops" where the girls have to stop and perform a task before continuing. The Tape Race Track game promotes motor skills, coordination, and friendly competition.

Painters Tape Spider Web

Transform your doorway into a spooky spider's hangout!

  1. Grab your painter's tape: Start by sticking a long piece of tape to the floor in the center of your doorway.
  2. Let's build the frame: Run separate pieces of tape from the floor up the sides of the doorway and onto the top, making sure they all meet in the center point you created earlier. This will be the basic frame of your web.
  3. Weaving the web: Now for the fun part! Take more tape and start creating circles around the center point, getting progressively smaller as you move inwards. Imagine a spider spinning its web and follow its motion!
  4. Web complete! Continue adding tape circles until your web reaches the desired size.
  5. Time for some "prey": Scrunch some old newspapers into balls. Pretend they're trapped insects and throw them at your web to make them stick – just like real spider webs!
