Games and Activities


GAMES:
  • Instant Games Cards.doc--Printable Game Cards for Leaders
  • One of the girls' favorite games:  "Rock, Paper, Scissors" -- In a large field with a 'home base' on either end (tree, pole, bench, etc.) split girls into 2 teams.  The girls huddle to decide on one of 3 actions.  On the count of 3, everyone does their chosen action and then the winners chase the losers before they can get back to their 'home base' marker.  If they get caught they have to switch teams.
    • Rock=strong man arms downward;
    • Paper= put hands straight up and wave in the wind;
    • Scissors= huge alligator-mouth arms opening and closing. S
      • Scissors cut paper; Rock crushed scissors; Paper covers rock.
