World Thinking Day is next month and the Girl Scouts of West Point are celebrating as a unit. The job of each troop is to pick a country (our is Egypt...for no other reason than when we first had to pick our countries Mark had just returned from there) and then present on it to the other troops.
In theory, it would be the responsibility of the girls to come up with ideas, research them, and put together wonderful skits, creative foods, or amazing artifact displays.
Well, when the girls are seven and eight, and have limited access to on-line research, the responsibility lies on none-other-than-the Troop Leader!
That would be me.
Thankfully, I have one other mom in my troop whom I was able to bounce ideas off of. Here is what we came up with. My ideas...crossed off! Hers...so much better!
We decided to:
make and package individual pieces of baklavamake sugar cookies shaped like Egypthave each kiddo calculate in hieroglyphics their parents agesDumb idea!print out multiple sets of hieroglyphics and the kids can put together their namesBuy an hieroglyphics stamp set and let them play; sentences, names, whatever!- Egyptian tatoos
- Artifact table with labels (this was my one contribution; besides Mark brought us back some really neat trinkets!)
Who thinks this mom needs to take over as Brownie Leader? Her ideas are perfect for the young ladies in our troop. Lots of fun and and hands on!
