Fun Ways Your Girl Scouts Can Earn Their Respect Authority Petal<\/h1>\n

I know as a Daisy Leader we are always trying to come up with new and exciting ways to earn the Daisy Petals. Over the last 10 years, I have had multiple Daisy groups; this week I want to share what I have done with my girls to earn the magenta petal: \u201cRespect Authority<\/b>\u201c.<\/p>\n

\"respect<\/a>A great place to start is to purchase the\u00a0Petal Pack Complete from Makingfriends<\/a>\u00a0It is a complete set of projects to earn your Daisy Petals, 11 projects in all. They are each individually packaged and ready for your daisy meetings, no leader prep is needed. Order one package for each girl.<\/p>\n

When the girls arrive to meeting have copies of the Respect Authority Daisy Petal Coloring page.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the meeting, ask your girls what they think respect authority means? Have girls give examples of times they spoke to a police officer or Fireman<\/p>\n

Respect Authority Daisy Petal Packette<\/h2>\n

This is part of MakingFriends.com\u00a0Petal Pack Complete\u00a0<\/a>and is also available separately. Use stickers to build a scene and to create a thank you card for police officers or firefighters. After making scenes have girls make thank you cards for firefighters for all they do for us and serving our community.<\/p>\n

Additional Games and Activities<\/h1>\n

Authority Says “Simon Says”<\/h2>\n

Similar to a game of simon says in this version of the game the girls will only obey simon if the leader is wearing a hat of authority, such as a police hat, fire hat, parent hat, teacher hat, Girl Scout leader hat(or wear pin), etc. Previous to the meeting create your own custom hats or gather hats, it can be as easy as googling for the hats your looking for and printing pictures tape to a real hat. Have simon swap between hats of authority and silly hats such as minnie mouse, clown hat, pirate hat, etc.<\/p>\n

Authority Figure Role Playing<\/h2>\n

My girls love to act out different scenes. To earn the Respect Authority Petal, I created a number of scenarios for the girls to act out, and the other girls watched and gave their opinions how they would have handled situation better.<\/p>\n
