How to Use the Petal Fairy Leader Guide

2

This kit will take your girls on a garden adventure with their new petal fairy friends. Each law has a petal fairy that needs your Daisy Girl Scout’s help. Your Daisy Girl Scouts will go on a adventure learning how to live by the Girl Scout Law and help their petal fairy friends plant their fairy fl owers, water their fairy gardens, and learn how to live by the Girl Scout Law one activity at a time.

The girls will do this by completing activities from 4 different categories for each award: Practice the law, be creative with the law, get moving with the law, and put the law into action. Each petal also includes a additional activity and/or song to add to your Girl Scout troop meeting.

The Petal Fairy Leader Guide is designed to help make planning your Girl Scout meetings a breeze. Below is what you can expect to see in this guide for each Daisy Petal and Promise Center.

• Everything you need for a particular petal or promise center is included in the “What you need” list at the top of each section.

• After the “What you need” section the activities are broke down into the following 4 categories:

• At the end of each activity category there is a sticker book follow up activity, the sticker book is optional for each girl(see next page for the value of using with your Daisy Girl Scouts) If you choose to earn the awards without them just skip that section of activities.

• Throughout the Petal Fairy Leader Guide you will see reference to PDF templates.

To access these resources go to girlscoutleaderconnect.com

Note: If you bought the sticker books for your Daisy Girl Scouts the templates are included with sticker books. If you need more copies of anything you have access to the daisy resource above.

• Lastly, you can track your Daisy Girl Scouts progress using the petal tracker at the back of this book on page 36 and 37. If you need more copies of the page it is also available in the online Daisy Girl Scout resource you have access to on the Girl Scout Leader Connect website.

I learned the Girl Scout Promise





The Petal Fairy Sticker Book Makes Planning Even EasierAs mentioned on the previous page, the Petal Fairy: Garden Adventure kit is designed for leaders to earn the awards with or without the sticker book addition for each Daisy Girl Scout in your troop. However the sticker book will make earning the Girl Scout Law Petals and Daisy Promise Center even easier.

The reasons why you want to have a sticker book for each girl:

• After you complete all the activities in a category there will be a “Sticker Book Follow up” section. This section will give your Daisy Girl Scouts a chance to add stickers to their sticker book. For example:

• After completing the activities your Daisy Girl Scouts can also track progress with their very own tracking stickers to put in their sticker book.

Daisy Promise Center the girls pick a Daisy Girl Scout that best represents them.

• Help your your Daisy Girl Scouts learn how to follow the Girl Scout Law with the help of the Daisy Petal Fairies. On each page of the sticker book the petal fairy will share ways your Daisy Girl Scouts can follow that Girl Scout Law. As part of the sticker book follow up activities share the quote with your Daisies. • At the end of each petal your Daisy Girl Scouts will have a follow up question to answer in their sticker book.• All the pdf templates mentioned throughout the Petal Fairy Leader Guide are included with your Daisy Girl Scouts sticker book so there is no need to print additional resources.

Recommended Structuring Of Troop MeetingNo matter how you plan to run your Girl Scout troop meetings you will fi nd that your Daisy Girl Scouts will respond well to a standard routine for each meeting. Example:

• Start the meeting with a simple fl ag ceremony (see page 5 for ceremony). • Start working through the Daisy Promise Center and Girl Scout Law Petal awards. Depending on length of your Girl Scout troop meeting you may complete more than one law or only parts of a law which is perfectly fi ne. Use the petal tracker on page 36 to keep track of where you left off at each meeting.• When time is right during your Girl Scout troop meeting have a snack. • End your Girl Scout troop meeting with a song (you can use any of the songs throughout this book or fi nd your own) and do a friendship circle (how to on page 23).

Be Honest – Lies are Hard to Keep StraightThis activity will show your Daisies that it is ALWAYS easier to tell the truth then to lie because it is hard to remember a lie. How to do activity: Have your Daisies sit in circle or around table. Hold a object in your hands and make up a lie about it. For example, if you are holding a keys you can say “This is a car.” Pass the keys and tell girls the next person has to repeat what you said and add a new lie: “This is a car and they are orange.” Continue until someone accidentally tells the truth or a lie.

Watch as we place the egg in the water, Sally sinks to the bottom which is how some one who is left out or mistreated would feel: sad, depressed, and unloved. 2. Then pull the egg out of the water and set it aside. Now put one tablespoon at a time of the salt into the water, stirring in each spoonful, explaining to the girls how the salt represents different ways to show fairness towards others: Following the rules when playing a game, Taking turns and sharing, Treating others with respect, Taking action to help someone being treated unfairly. 3. After you have added all of the salt, place the smiling “Sally Egg” in the water and it will now float. Explain that now Sally is being supported with kindness and fairness of others.

Paper CourageThis activity will show your Daisies that anyone can turn weaknesses into strengths and be Courageous and Strong. What you need: piece of paper and a bookHow to do activity: Show the girls a piece of paper and ask them if this piece of paper would hold up the book using only one hand to hold the paper? Have a few girls try it and soon everyone will realize there is no way. Now take that same piece of paper and roll it tight into a tube. You can now hold that tub in one hand and carefully place the book on top of the open end of the tube. It should support the book.

Now you can explain to the girls how this relates to their ability to turn their weaknesses into strengths and show courage. The paper was flimsy at first, weak, lacking backbone and character and was easy to crush and overwhelm. Compare this to someone who faces a problem, they may lack the courage to confront the problem or stand up to the opposition. But, with determination you can turn a weaknesses into a strength. Just as the paper can be rolled into a sturdy tube, we can work to add muscle to our weaknesses if we have the courage to persist. We will then develop backbone to hold up under pressure.

Ask the girls to give examples of what someone could do to turn a weakness into strength. For examples: Sally has to talk in front of her class and she is afraid to speak in front of her classmates. Now what can she do to change this into a strength? Any other examples girls can come up with?

What Does Courage Look Like?This activity will allow your Daisies to picture what courage looks like so they can put the Girl Scout Law into action. What you need: drawing paper How to do activity: Have your Daisies draw a picture of courage in action.

where they don’t know others this is great way to meet other Girl Scouts. • Girl Scout Friendship Circle: Often done at end of meeting or ceremony. Everyone gets into circle, and crosses right arm over left and holds with the person on each side. Everyone is silent and leader starts the friendship squeeze by squeezing person next to them, one by one each girl passes the squeeze till it makes around whole circle.

Words Hurt - Be a Sister to Every Girl ScoutThis activity will help your Daisy Girl Scouts understand the importance of thinking before they speak & being respectful to one another.What you need: Jenny the Girl Scout template [print from website or included in sticker book], crayons and/or markersHow to do activity: Hand out the Jenny Girl Scout template printed from website or included with girl’s sticker book. Have the girls take some time coloring Jenny the Girl Scout. Then introduce all your girls to Jenny! Explain to them that she is a Daisy Girl Scout just like them from another troop, but she isn’t very well liked by others. Ask your girls to think of comments they might hear that would hurt Jenny’s feelings. As the girls shared examples, they should crumble a section of Jenny they just fi nished coloring. Continue until Jenny is one serious crumbled up mess! Then discuss how bad Jenny was feeling and how they would feel from the hurtful comments.

Now that the girls understand how hurtful words can be have girls now share things they could say to Jenny so she would know she is important and that we all respect her. As each example is said have the girls start smoothing out Jenny. Once she is all smoothed out discuss with the girls how she still has wrinkles and you can’t get them completely out. Jenny is different now, those hurtful comments stick with her even if we say we are sorry. Remind your girls to always think before we speak and respect each other.

As a conclusion to the activity, have each girl share with the group one thing that she is going to do at home or at school to show others that she is a sister to every Girl Scout and include everyone.

Trust PathIn this game your Daisies will learn more about trusting others, because trusting your friends is a important aspect of a friendship. How to do activity: Form two parallel lines, girls facing each other. Tell the girls to put both hands up and put them up against the girls hands acrossed from them. Do it in a way that they are blocking having anyone walk through them. Then have one girl at a time run through them. As the girl gets to a pair of girls they will drop their arms before the girl gets to them. She will learn to trust that her friends will clear the way for her as she moves through the path. As the girls begin to trust each other, they will be able to move more quickly through the path.

Be A Sister to EveryoneNow that your Daisies understand the GIrl Scout Law “Be a Sister To Every Girl Scout” it is time to put it into action. What you need: M&MsHow to do activity: Pair up your girls, and have them sit facing each other. Say out loud what you see - How many different colors do you see? Compare with your friend the colors of your eyes, hair, skin, lips, clothes, shoes. Now, share a handful of M&M candies with your friend. Do you have a favorite color of M&M? Why? Even though they are different outside, aren’t they the same inside? Try this experiment: Have your friend secretly choose an M&M and remember what color it is. You close your eyes, and she will let you eat it – no peeking! Now, tell her what color you think the M&M was. Chances are, you can’t tell the color – they taste the same. Make sure she gets a turn to try this, too. What if you had decided not to be friends with anyone who looked different than you? People are all very different and that making decisions about someone according to color, shape of eyes, height, weight, or ability is wrong. Take some time to talk about how our differences make us special, and what you have in common – inside. How can you help others see what is inside a person, and not make decisions based on the outside?

A fire burns bright, it warms the heart.We’ve been friends,from the very start.

You have one hand,I have the other.Put them together,We have each other.
