Share with the girls that they are going to decorate the edges of the paper plate and show your sample without words written on it. Have the girl write her name in pencil on the back so she does not receive her own plate during the award ceremony.
Collect the plates and at home, go over the list and in black or dark thick marker, write the award in the center of the plate.
At your last Girl Scout meeting of the year, allow 10-15 minutes for each girl to receive her award.
