This week was our first weekend back from winter break. And January 1st marks a very important event in Girl Scouts...Cookie time! SO at this meeting we had our own cookie rally!
We first watched a Girl Scout video about the kinds of cookies we sell and how to safely sell them.
Next we made dice so we could practice figuring out how much different amounts of boxes cost.
But we also had these cookie necklaces with a cheat sheet on the back helping us out.
The girls had fun making the dice. One die was for how many cookies you were going to buy. The other was for how much money you had. Their job was to figure out how much change they should get back.
Melanie had her dice put together quickly so she could play.
Next we played a game where it tested how much the girls knew about the cookies. All kinds of "ingredients" were put into a bowl. They had a cookie and had to find the 4 things that make up that cookie. They had fun playing this.
Next they got money and had to practice buying and selling cookies and counting money and giving change.
Next, we learned some fun cookie songs.
Then we had awards given out for cookie spirit. The girls came to the meeting wearing the color of their favorite cookie.
red=Tagalongs
green=Thin Mints
yellow=Savannah Smiles
orange-Do-si-dos
purple=Samoas
pink=Rah Rah Raisin
blue=Trefoils
We wrapped up the meeting by writing some thank you's that we could put with our cookie orders when they come in next month.
We have about another week and a half to sell those cookies. It is a very exciting time!
