Here we are already starting our second year of Brownies! Wow! It's hard to believe we are going into our 4th year of scouting!
We started our first meeting of the year by staring a new Brownie Journey-A World of Girls. For our first meeting we had fun together playing some games from around the world.
First up was a game called Banyoka. It's a game from Africa and it means "snake." The girls had to be in two teams. They had to sit with legs out and arms on shoulders and slither to reach a destination. They had fun doing this and did pretty good at it too.
After that, we played a game called Rescue Mission. It's not from another country but they had to use teamwork to make it work. The parachute that they are on is their boat. Well they had to pretend that a big wave came and knocked all the animals overboard. They had to stay o their "boat" and rescue all the animals. They couldn't touch the floor or they fell in the water too. It took lots of teamwork to save those animals but they did it!
Next, we moved outside to play Escargot, which is a French version of hopscotch. The girls hopped around the numbers as you would in a normal hopscotch game. But after one round, three girls picked a number and then when they went around again, they couldn't hop on that number or they were out. We played until it was impossible to hop anymore.
The last game we played was called Cencio Mollo, a game from Italy. The girls stand in a circle and you are supposed to use a scare but we used a stuffed animal. You had to go up to girls and try to make them laugh out loud. If you did, they were out. If you couldn't make someone laugh, you moved on to another girl until you got someone to laugh.
It was a fun meeting and we even gained a new Brownie this year....meet Kaylynn!
