#1. I Care 5-29-08 Rebecca Be a "secret pal" to someone. Think of nice things you can do for your secret pal. Write a poem, make a friendship
pin, send a card, or be a helper.
#2. Favorites Make a list of some of your favorite things - songs, books,
places to go, things to do. Compare them with your friends' lists. What things are the same? What things are different? Try
reading a friend's favorite book or watching a friend's favorite movie with her. Ask her why she likes it.
Some Favorite Things: Let's go over some of your favorite things:
School subjects ___________________________________________________ Colors __________________________________________________________
Books __________________________________________________________ Places __________________________________________________________
Things to do ______________________________________________________ Sports __________________________________________________________
Compare: 1) How much influence do your friends have on what YOU like?

#3. What If? With your Girl Scout troop or group, talk about what makes
a person a good friend. How can you be a good friend to another person? With your Brownie Girl Scout friends, act out what
you would do in two of the following situations.
- Your best friend is crying.
- One of the girls in the troop has a birthday.
- Your mother has to finish a big project for work the next day.
- A neighbor falls and breaks her leg.
- Your friend is afraid she will fail a test.
- A classmate forgets her lunch.
Think of other scenes to act out.
#4. Differences are OK 5-29-08 Rebecca Many people look different than you. Some have skin or hair color that is different. Some are taller or shorter. One
person may see better and another not hear as well. All these people have similar feelings on the inside. They also have talents
to share with others.
With your Girl Scout troop or group, find out about ways that you are different from each other. Find out about ways you
are the same as others. Choose a partner and stand or sit facing her: 1. Interview your partner. Ask her about her family,
where she lives, and her favorite food, activity, and movie. Then your partner gets a turn to find out about you. 2. Come
together as a group and talk about some of the ways you are different and the same.
#5. A Friend's Scrapbook 2-19-08 (Breann) Make
a scrapbook that tells about your friends.
You will need:
- Construction paper
- Writing paper
- A stapler
- Markers or Crayons
- Pencil
- Pictures of your friends (if you have any)
1. Fold the construction paper in half. This will be the cover. 2. Decide how many friends you want to put in your book.
Make a page for each of them. 3. Staple the pages and cover together. 4. Decorate the cover. 5. Make a page for each
friend. You may want to put in pictures, phone numbers, birthdays, addresses, or other things you think would be fun. What
makes them your friend? What do you like about them?
#6. Be a Good Neighbor Is there a neighbor who needs your help? Is she
busy with kids? Or taking are of someone elderly? Or is she elderly herself? Find out what is needed and help out! You could
share conversation, weed a garden, or do a chore. Be sure you have your parents or guardian's permission!
