Five years ago, I wrote this blog post entitled 10 Inclusive Activities Your Girl Scout Troop Can Do This Holiday Season. To augment that post, I am adding ten additional activities your girls can do together that includes all of your scouts. You now have 20 choices for having a memorable December meeting.
Winter Themed Meeting
Available on Teachers Pay Teachers
This meeting is for Daisies through Cadettes…perfect for multi-level troops! It includes 10 fun winter activities including crafts, games, and races. With so many from which to choose, you can do some in December and some during your busy cookie season.
Girl Scout Brownie Senses Badge Winter Theme
Available on Teachers Pay Teachers
If you have an all Brownie troop, this meeting will help you earn a badge and be inclusive to all.
Girl Scout I Have, Who Has Game for Brownies Juniors and Cadettes
Available on Teachers Pay Teachers
A fun game that can be used over and over again.
The Girl Scout “I Have, Who Has” Game includes:
- One set of 18 cards
- One set of 27 cards
- Two different blank pages per game
Plastic Wrap Game
This popular game is fun for all. Include lots of fun small prizes.
Items you can include in the plastic ball that you can purchase inexpensively in bulk:
Have an Indoor Snowball Fight
If you have the space, purchase these “snowballs” and have an indoor snowball fight.
Make Pom Poms for Hats
With cookie season around the corner, the girls can have add a touch of warmth to their uniform. You can purchase beanie hats at a dollar store or big box store and then teach them how to make pompoms for decor.
Buy yarn that will stand out…bright colors, a rainbow twist…be creative!
You do not need a fancy store bought pompom maker. Use resources wisely and use this easy DIY tutorial from The Craft Train using cardboard. Older girls can make it themselves.
Play Winter Pictionary
Pictionary is a fun and easy game to play. This winter word list from Enchanted Learning will make it easy for you to think of words for the girls to draw.
Play the Left Right Game
The girls need to bring in a wrapped gift from the Dollar Store (buy a few extra just in case someone forgets).
You will read a Left-Right story and the girls will pass the gifts left or right, depending on what the story says. You can find a Frosty the Snowman version here.
Make a Picture Frame
During the meeting prior to this one, take a troop photo. Then have the girls do this craft and insert the picture. This comes in a package of 30.
