Responsible for What I Say and Do Not included:
For chore coupons: Crayons. For plants: Water, container for pouring, pencil, toothpick or craft stick. Remember, you don’t have to do all the activities.
Intro:
Let’s make the Girl Scout sign and say the Girl Scout Promise together. Would anyone like to lead it? On my honor, I will try: To serve God* and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. *Members may substitute for the word God in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs.
Icebreaker:
Have the girls introduce themselves and share their favorite thing they like to do at school.
Pick at least three of the following activities to complete to earn this petal! You can do these all in one meeting or over several meetings if you wish. Feel free to be creative, and modify or supplement these ideas with your own activities around the theme of responsibility.
Activity 1: Read and share! Read the Little Critter book I Forgot (included).
e Was Little Critter being responsible in this story? What could he have done differently? e What can happen when people do not follow through with their responsibilities? Activity 2: Play a game! Play responsibility charades: Whisper a chore or responsibility to each girl and have them take turns acting them out for others to guess. Examples: Brush your teeth, vacuum, you’re your bed, do homework, take a shower, sweep, walk the dog, wash the dishes, make your bed, get dressed, rake leaves, cook dinner.
