ARE YOU A GIRL SCOUT LEADER? This activity booklet was designed to fulfill the requirements for the Brownie Senses badge or can be used by frontier girl leaders to earn similar badges.

Activities include:

Using Sight – Look Around: Kids will play two different versions of Kim’s Games and try to solve some fun optical illusions

Using Hearing – Listen to what’s around you: Girls will explore sounds by guessing sounds of objects in an egg, and play a game of telephone.

Using Smell – start sniffing the smells with your nose: kids will learn more about their sense of smell by doing a few activities where they identify objects by their smell and learn to navigate around objects using only their sense of smell.

Using Taste – try some new things and test your taste: kids will explore tastes by identifying different ice cream flavors just using taste, and also determine if color of something can influence taste.

Using Touch – What do you feel with your hands: Kids will play a game where they will only have their sense of touch to sort a number of objects and learn more about braille and how to write their name using it.
