Friendly and Helpful
Each girl had a Helping Hands Coupons sheet to cut apart. (If you want to modify your own Helping Hand coupons, here is our Word doc version.) The coupons were each glued on a piece of construction paper.

For our second activity, we made our own version of Helping Hands Calling cards. Each time they do an act of kindness, they can leave their calling card behind.

The girls had a sheet of hand prints, and a sheet of Helping Hands Calling cards to cut. (We had pre-cut the hands as circle-shaped pieces before the meeting.) The girls colored the hands, and glued one to each of their cards. They took these cards home along with a Calling Card coloring sheet.
We sent the girls home with our own version of a Kindness Keeper. We cut a 2"x18" strip of white craft foam, and wrote the girl's name on the bottom of their strip. We punched a hole at the top, reinforced it with hole reinforcement labels, and tied a piece of plastic lace to it. We gave each girl a pack of daisy gems (found in the $1 bins at Michaels).

The girls are to hang their Kindness Keeper from a door or cabinet. Each time they do a good deed, they get to stick a daisy gem on their keeper. It make a pretty display of their kindness. ☺

this is adorable! Our troop will borrow this idea and do the coupon books for their badge. We are blending this badge activity with our investiture, so will also practice being friendly and helpful by welcoming parents and serving them snacks.
ReplyDeleteAwesome site! Many thanks from Richmond, Va (but used to live right around the corner from you in Ashburn)! I'm a new Daisy Troop leader with Kindergarteners. :) Thanks for sharing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteWith the Kindness Keeper do you have the Daisy girls bring it back in to show that it is complete? Love these ideas. Thank You
ReplyDeleteI made an additional sheet of possible chores for Daisies-- helping with laundry, feeding pet, raking leaves, carrying groceries, bringing in the mail, helping with dishes, clearing the table, watering the plants and making lunch. If you'd like me to send a copy so that other Daisy leaders can use it, feel free to e-mail me.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these great ideas and for the templates, this is a big help for those of us planning meetings! We are doing almost the same meeting tonight with a group of Daisies in Raleigh, NC.
