Product description

From the author

When playing games, it is only going to be fun if everyone can play and everyone follows the same rules. This activity booklet helps kids practice fair play through team games, discussions about participation, scorekeeping and shared rules. Children bring these activities together by planning and running a field day.

ARE YOU A GIRL SCOUT LEADER?
This activity booklet was designed by the creator around the Brownie Fair Play badge or can be used by frontier girl leaders to earn similar badges. Great for teachers and home schooled kids as well.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Why does the beach-ball game start without any rules being explained?

It's intentional: the leader says only 'Go' and lets confusion set in, so girls discover for themselves why rules make a game fair and understandable before the activity walks through creating rules together.
