Our World Thinking Day event is only a couple of weeks away but we will be ready! We are representing Sweden again which is fabulous because we have many swaps left over from last year thanks to April and Brandon. Since our GS are one year older than they were during last year's Thinking Day, they will be more involved in the planning and execution of this year's event.
Below is a brief description of how we represented Sweden last year:
- We created posters displaying facts about Sweden and Sweden's flag colored by our Daisy Girl Scouts.
- We created safety pin swaps using a Swedish paper doll template (so cute!)
- We served Swedish meatballs (from Ikea) and the Swedish Fish candy, both very popular.
- We also displayed various books about Sweden.
Here is what we did in our meeting to expose our GS to their WTD country:
- We learned about Pippi Longstocking and popular character from Swedish literature.
- We dressed our Swedish paper dolls in traditional Swedish costumes.
- We learned about and compared the Swedish Girl Guide law to the USA Girl Scout Law
- We matched Swedish color words to English color words and connected them to our daisy petal law colors.
