Never Struggle Planning Activities Again
Easy to use activity booklets for your troop meeting.Never Struggle Planning Activities Again
Easy to use activity booklets for your troop meeting.As a Girl Scout leader you may decide you want to have your girls do grace before having a meal or snack at a meeting. There are a lot of different graces out there and today I will share with you 15 that I have used many times.
How can I use graces? My troop has used many different types of Graces; we usually assign one group to be in charge of the grace. At Day camp we had 5 groups and let each group decide how to teach the other girls, some used poster boards or repeat after me approach but one way that I remembered that worked very well the whole group of girls took paint stirrer’s and put a small poster board glued to it with the words this way the girls were able to cover more area’s for everyone to read.
