It's As Well I haven't left yet
Feb. 18th, 2022 04:30 pmBecause for the last two weeks there's only been two leaders at Brownies.
Last week we did some first aid, which Flamingo ran - she was expecting to be running the activities and so had prepared. We only had 10 brownies, various illnesses, family commitments etc meaning our numbers were down, so they worked in three teams to apply bandages and put arms in slings, taking it in turns to be casualties. It worked reasonably well, although one casualty can't tell left from right and so told her teammates she had injured the wrong leg. Fortunately, in a real situation she could just point!
This week was a bit more of a last minute job. We were celebrating Thinking Day, so Flamingo ran some activities which she managed to construct for the Brownies. We began with an introduction to Thinking Day, and I was really pleased that one of the girls remembered the paper dolls we had made last year with different uniforms. I then ran a quiz - nice and easy multiple choice where they have to run to the corner they think is the right answer. The 14 Brownies were then split into two competing teams for various challenges - throwing beanbags into a box, magnetic darts onto a dartboard etc. And then finally I ran a couple of games - Pink Knickers which they had wanted to play the previous week, but we hadn't had time, and Fishes. After which they all went home, quite tired from all their running around.
