Story Canisters | Introduce Yourself as a Famous Woman | Who Am I? Guessing Game | Famous Canadian Women Party
To learn about famous Canadian women, we are making Story Canisters
(from
Canadian Guider) to illustrate four or five important things
about a famous
Canadian woman. You make tiny pictures (maps, pictures of
person, pictures
of things famous for, etc.) and put them in a film
container. Then you use
the pictures to tell someone else about the woman. A work
in progress; will
find out next meeting how well it worked!

Any other ideas on things for a Famous
Canadian Women camp?
We'll be teaching "can a woman". Each girl will also
come prepared to
introduce herself as a Famous Canadian
female.
Thanks for the ideas!

How about a "Who
Am I" guessing game? Last year our girls really
enjoyed this. We made up
name tags of famous Canadian women, pinned one to the back of
each girl and leader. They then
had to ask questions that could only be answered with
"yes" or "no" to figure out who they were.
Most of the girls were able to figure out who they were and a few
hints helped the rest. Another
year, we put the names on cards and an equal amount of cards with
something about that woman.
The girls had to match themselves to the right clue.
Then we usually sit in a circle and discuss each woman. It is amazing how much these girls know.
Hope this helps.

We just had a wonderful evening based on Famous Canadian Woman.
We organized a Come
as a Famous Canadian Woman party..( we didn't have a
Halloween party )The girls did some research last Monday.
Margaret Jones
and I brought in books from the library and so did some of the
girls. Some
already knew who they wanted to be. We then planned a
party...group program activity My Horizons.
Then last night the girls came to a party with whatever food
they planned
to bring, dressed in their costumes and with their facts.
We sat in a circle and one by one the girls presented what they
had learnt
about their Woman...we only had one in triple and no
doubles. Only 1 had
picked an American, the rest were Canadian. Then we tried
to guess who
they were. Either easy or impossible. But lots of
fun. I have written
down the facts and want to put together a Guess who game....may
have time
later in the week. I think the girls will remember more
this way.
I was exhausted after a weekend at a commish training,
which was loads of
fun, and not feeling well so I really didn't have the energy to
go to this
meeting but These girls sure made it worth while.
Margaret had come up with a great idea to teach the
girls Canadian
symbols.... She showed them some symbols and explained what
symbols were.
Then she had the girls split into groups of two or three.
they had to go
off and come up with a Canadian symbol. They then ran to
tell her so that
it was accurate and not duplicated. Then they had two
minutes to come up
with a way to make the other girls guess what their symbol
was....beaver
was one....1 girl was a tree the other the beaver cutting down
the tree and
then dragging it off stage....
others were Canada goose, maple leaf...
Again a lot of fun!
What an evening!
