Making Friends

Our first meeting of the new term was following the theme Friendship, we welcomed two new Brownies.


We started off playing the Find Someone Who......... game, which is where each Brownie is given a sheet with phrases on like Find someone who has 2 brothers, been to last years pantomine, has blue eyes etc, and they have to find someone who fits the description.

Then we played the  Smartie Game, where each Brownie helps themselves to as many Smarties as they like, and as they eat each smartie have to say something about themselves.

Then we made some name labels to hang on the noticeboard, there was a choice of a Flower, Toadstools, or Owl.

Then Holly and Eve organised a Wool Spider Web game, everyone sat in a circle and Eve started off by throwing the ball of wall across the circle calling out the person she was throwing to's name and then it carried on

After everyone had caught the ball of wool and we had a nice Spiders Web then the Brownies had to try and get across the web, either going over or under, without touching the wool if she touched the wool, the rest of the Brownies made an alarm noise
