\"daisy_zinni\"<\/a>When searching for activities and things to do for each petal, I find that it is important to have a lot of activities because girls sometime complete things quicker than you think. 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 spring green\u00a0petal: \u201cConsiderate and Caring<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a>A great place to start is to purchase the\u00a0Petal Pack Complete from Makingfriends\u00a0<\/a>It 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

\"girl-scouts-considerate-caring\"<\/a>When the girls arrive to meeting have copies of the Considerate and Caring\u00a0Daisy Petal Coloring page for a complete collection of all the Girl Scout Laws\u00a0Click here<\/a><\/p>\n

At the beginning of the meeting, ask your girls what they think being Considerate and caring\u00a0means? Have girls give examples of times they have\u00a0been considerate an caring to others in their lives.<\/p>\n

Additional Games and Activities<\/h1>\n

Be Considerate While Coloring<\/h2>\n

Use crayons, color pencils, markers, and if it makes sense paint \u2013 have them each use a certain thing for 5 minutes or go less depending on how fast they color \u2013 and then trade \u2013 see what type of pictures they end up with. Get some great free coloring pages here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Listening Is Important Part Of Being A Good Friend<\/h2>\n

\"DSC_0346\"<\/a>Partner girls up and give each pair a small token or object. Instruct one girl in each
\npair to put on a bandanna with the help of her partner or adult. This girl will be the
\nlistener. The other girl will be the talker.<\/p>\n

Once the listeners have closed their eyes or been blindfolded, the talkers should place their small tokens somewhere in the room. They shouldn’t be hidden in tricky spots, but should be a bit out of the way. Tell the talkers that they should remember where they placed their tokens. Once the tokens have been placed, it is the talker\u2019s job to lead her partner to the hidden token by giving verbal instructions. Once the tokens have been found, have girls switch roles and repeat.<\/p>\n

After the activity is complete, discuss the role that listening played in this activity.<\/p>\n
