Petals from Home - Ideas for Daisies


Looking for some at-home work for Daisies?  Here are some steps to completing some of the petals...

Clover – Using Resources Wisely.
  • Step 1) Show your daughter this video about Clover’s story.   
  • Step 2) Make a collage with old magazines or postcards – being resourceful means finding new ways to use old things.
  • Step 3) Help mom or dad make a recipe using leftovers so the food doesn’t go to waste OR brainstorm 3 ways we could use resources wisely at our troop meeting space or at school (draw a picture of it).
Zinni – Considerate and Caring.
  • Step 1) Show your daughter this video about Zinni’s story.  
  • Step 2) Brainstorm ways to be like Zinni – how can you be considerate and caring?
  • Step 3) Make a poster or picture to show three ways you can be considerate and caring at home.  Put it somewhere you will see it every day to inspire you to be considerate and caring!
Tula – Courageous and Strong.
  • Step 1) Watch this video about Tula’s story
  • Step 2) Make an art gallery celebrating women who are courageous and strong (could be drawings, magazine images, photos).  Ask a family member to share stories about strong women and create the art piece to celebrate them. Share with someone!
  • Step 3) Draw a pic or make a collage of an animal you think is courageous and strong.  Put it some place you will see it so you will remember to be strong!
Vi – Be a Sister to Every GS.
  • Step 1) Watch the video about Vi's story
  • Step 2) Learn about Juliette Gordon Low.  Watch this video with your daughter. 
  • Step 3) Draw a picture of our Daisy troop… write what you like about the girls in our troop!
Gloria – Respect Yourself and Others.
  • Step 1) Watch the video about Gloria's story
  • Step 2) Ask an older role model to give you tips about ways to show respect to others (having good manners, etc).
  • Step 3) Learn how to write thank you notes OR think of three healthy things you can do to show you respect yourself and draw a picture.
Lupe – Honest and Fair.

Junior Journey in a Day: Agent of Change

As many troops are moving to online meetings, it may be fun to attempt a journey.  Last fall, I hosted a Journey in a Day for Juniors to complete the Agent of Change journey in one day-long retreat.  The event was held in a library so we were able to research female change agents in the children's biography section... but girls could research via the internet (maybe watch YouTube videos) in place of that... Leaders, take a look at my plan and feel free to make it your own!

Case of the Cracked Sidewalk - Brownie Quest - by Sylvia

This video, created by Cadette Sylvia Langston, tells the story of the Case of the Cracked Sidewalk (aka The Case of the Broken Sidewalk) from the Brownie Quest journey. Through storytelling, Brownies can learn about how kids their age reacted when they discovered a problem in their community.  Brownie leaders, you can use this video to empower your troop for helping them understand ways they can take action in their community. Thanks to Sylvia for creating this fun video!!
