Hi all,
This winter is giving me the shivers. So we thought we'd ring in
the new year with some warmer thoughts.
My Spark unit and co-guiders decided to host a Spark/Brownie
Event in our school gym. We will open the evening with the
Macarena at loud volume to dance and warm us up. Bathing suits
and shorts in this weather is daunting, wouldn't you say? We are
all to come to the beach suitably dressed, including sunscreen
and hats!
And proceed through various stations -
- Beach volleyball with balloons (to avoid accidents to the head)
- Fishing - bait consists of a baggie full of goldfish crackers.
Girls are to throw out lines with attached crackers and guiders
behind a sheet will attach fish
- premade funfoam fish with glitter on them for their hats as a
keepsake of the event). If there is extra time, girls can make
stamp pictures with our collection of seal, whale, dolphin and
fish stamps and talk about storm drain painting.
- Tongue twister and game.
- Limbo station with finger jello fish and sailboat shapes
We should have a blasting one hour meeting that will keep us
warm, no matter what we are wearing!
