When my troop was younger, I always loved the Valentine’s Day meeting because it was a break from badge work. Planning was less intense, as a simple craft, a story, and a heart shaped snack were all that needed to be planned.
With most troops unable to meet in person, virtual meetings are now the norm. This makes planning more of a challenge. I know this firsthand as I now teach first grade Sunday School virtually, and all of the wonderful hands on activities that used to be a part of my lessons are sitting on shelves in my basement. I am reinventing each lesson as we go along.
Here are crafts and games to help you plan your virtual Girl Scout Conversation Hearts meeting.

Many leaders create goody bags for the girls so they are prepared for each meeting. Whether parents up the bags from your home or you deliver them is up to you. Inside the goody bag for your conversation hearts meeting, you can include:
Set of 12 Valentine’s Day Head Boppers Available on Amazon
Conversation Hearts Multi-Packs Available on Amazon
Give one for games and one to eat!
Starting Off Your Virtual Girl Scout Conversation Hearts Meeting
Years ago, I enjoyed watching the Food Network show, Unwrapped. Viewers got to go behind the scenes and see how their favorite foods and treats were made. After introducing the theme of the meeting, you can screen share and show a short video on how the conversations hearts are made.
This is just one that are available.
