As a multi-level GS troop leader, I often get asked how I cater to the broad spectrum of age ranges. Younger girls can\u2019t do everything older girls can, and of course, there are some activities that older girls don\u2019t enjoy as much as younger girls. Recently, my troop held our annual GS\u00a0Christmas Party. This year, our Junior-and-up scouts learned to decorate cupcakes while our Daisies and Brownies played games.<\/p>\n

With a multi-level troop, a it doesn\u2019t hurt to do a little extra planning, and always be prepared for slip-ups. For example, our girls were responsible for bringing six cupcakes, but have a few of the Junior girls bring extras\u2014just in case.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a>
Girls decorating cupcakes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of our troop leaders took a cake decorating class, so she agreed to do a cake decorating session with the girls.\u00a0 With the help of other leaders, she taught the basics\u2014and the results were pretty and <\/em>delicious!<\/p>\n

While the older girls were decorating, we played games with the Daisies and Brownies.\u00a0Each of the younger girls decorated \u201cgoodie bags\u201d with markers and stickers.<\/p>\n

Christmas Party Games<\/h2>\n

Candy Cane Relay
\n<\/strong>Purchase a box of small candy canes and separate the girls into teams. Construct an obstacle course (few chairs they had to walk around) called \u201cmountains\u201d.\u00a0 The objective is to get the candy canes to Santa\u2019s sled across the room.\u00a0 As soon as one girl drops off the candy cane, the next girl started the course. The first team to finish wins!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

The Gingerbread Man Race<\/strong><\/p>\n

Divide each group into four: three children and one adult. The girls take turns rolling dice, and the number they roll is the box they have to color. The first girl to color the whole gingerbread man wins!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christmas Corners<\/strong>
\nSimilar to musical chairs, Christmas Corners is a great game for a multi-level troop. Create four images: a snowflake, Santa, stocking and\u00a0Christmas tree. Place one image in each corner of the room. Tell the girls to pick an image and stand by it. Give each girl the opportunity to move to another image or stay where they are.\u00a0Allow the girls that were eliminated to take turns drawing the next elimination.\u00a0Continue until only one remains.\u00a0You can also eliminate one image as you get down to fewer girls, but keep the last few girls separated so only one girl wins.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Draw your own Christmas Scene<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place a blank paper plate on your head and without looking at plate follow the directions below:<\/p>\n

1. Draw a line for the floor.
\n2. Draw a Christmas tree.\u00a0 Add decorations
\n3. Draw a star on top of your tree.
\n4. Draw a fireplace with a mantle next to the tree.
\n5. Draw a stocking hanging from the mantle of your fireplace.
\n6. Draw a present below the tree.<\/p>\n

After the six steps have been completed, let everyone behold their masterpieces!<\/p>\n

Tally up points:
\n2 points if your stocking is touching your mantle.
\n1 point if your star touches your tree.
\n1 point if your star is above your tree.
\n1 point for every Christmas ornament ball that is ON your tree, etc.<\/p>\n

1 point if your fireplace doesn\u2019t touch the tree (it\u2019s a fire hazard!).
\n1 point if you actually drew something decorative on your stocking (or something cute,
\n2 points if your present is under your tree.<\/p>\n

Another version better suited for younger girls:<\/p>\n

Draw Your Own Snowman<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Draw a line for the ground.<\/li>\n
  2. Draw a large snowball for the base.<\/li>\n
  3. Draw a medium snowball on top of the base snowball.<\/li>\n
  4. Draw a small snowball for the head.<\/li>\n
  5. Draw a carrot nose.<\/li>\n
  6. Draw a two eyes and a mouth of dots.<\/li>\n
  7. Draw a scarf at the neck.<\/li>\n
  8. Draw two stick arms.<\/li>\n
  9. Draw a top hat on top of the head.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rank points like the tree game<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

    Christmas Garland Hunt
    \n<\/strong>Divide the girls into two teams. Pre-cut strips colored paper and hide them around the room. Each team has a leader\/parent to help tape the paper garland together. Girls are only allowed to pick one piece of paper up at a time, and aren\u2019t allowed to look for the next strip until it\u2019s taped on.\u00a0The longest garland wins! Give the winning team two pieces of candy, and one for the losing team.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Christmas Tree Decorating (Leader Style)<\/strong>
    \nGather a variety of Christmas decorations such as bows, garland, ribbon, ornaments and beads. Choose a leader (or leaders) to be the Christmas Tree. Separate the girls into three teams and choose three mothers to be the trees. Put all the decorations on a table have the girls decorate their \u201ctree\u201d, one decoration at a time, until there\u2019s nothing left on the table. At the end, give everyone a prize for their decoration! Make sure to take pictures with their tree \u2013 this makes a great Christmas card photo.<\/p>\n

    Troop December Service Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This year for our December service project we had everyone bring in winter jackets for boys, girls and adults. We donated the jackets to our local home safe program to give to family’s in need this holiday season.<\/p>\n
