Animal Yoga
For some added fun and exercise you can do animal yoga with your girls. Below is a short 5 minute video with yoga poses that are directed by the animals the poses represent. It could be a great way to end your meeting or if you need to warm up before starting meeting. It is also a fun way to introduce your girls to yoga poses.
What do we do after your girls complete the activities?
Well of course give them the badge to display proudly on their vest, they earned it! Additionally If you are like many leaders we want to award our girls when they complete something even beyond just the patch. One great way to show achievement is with a certificate. Don’t worry you don’t have to make them, I found a resource that has done all the work for you and all you have to do is print them and customize the certificates with each girl’s name, badge or award earned, date, and troop leader. Editable certificates perfect for awarding girls after earning a badge.
Beyond outdoor art, learn a new skill each month
