Hi everyone,
In light of recent events in the United States, I've decided to put together a meeting plan on diversity and standing up for others. I have been given a great opportunity through Guiding to teach my Brownies about the world around them, and sometimes that means having honest conversations, in an age-appropriate way, of course.
Our meetings usually run for about an hour, but you can make it longer or shorter as needed.
| Time | Activity | Supplies |
| 7 pm | Welcome, opening | |
| 7:05 pm | Stand With Me Theme: Your Voice PA: Take Action This activity could be modified for a virtual meeting by having the Brownies raise their hand instead or stepping forwards. To make it a bit more meaningful, I would ask them to name something that they are worried about. This can show them that other Brownies are worried about the same thing, and they know how it feels to have someone on their side. https://experience.girlguides.ca/node/76941 | |
| 7: 15 pm | Plate Portraits Theme: Different Together PA: Explore Identities This activity could be done with any paper, it doesn't have to be a paper plate. I think that the message that this activity illustrates is especially important: don't judge people based only on what you can see. https://experience.girlguides.ca/node/31906 | Paper, colouring supplies |
| 7:30 pm | Advocacy Adventure Theme: Your Voice PA: Take Action For this activity I would use breakout rooms, to make sure that everyone has a chance to speak. It would also be good to have at least one Guider or Girl Assistant in each group to lead the discussion. The Guider/GA could share their screen with the cards on it. Once each group is done, come together as a big group and have each group share what they did. https://experience.girlguides.ca/node/76666 | Choose Your Adventure Cards, a device that you can share your screen from |
| 8 pm | Closing |
