Orperhaps it’s a t-shirt of a loved one who is away.If you are making this project in a large group you can obtain the t-shirts from your local thrift shop.SuppliesOld T-shirtFillingNeedle and thread or craft glueInstructionsStart by laying out the shirt flat on a table. You can either sew the edges or glue them the choiceis yours. Stitching will be more durable but for kids or a quick craft you can just glue the seams.Glue or stitch the bottom of the shirt and the armholes closed. Leave the neck area open for thefilling.A soft fiberfill stuffing will work well, but you can use other items such as beans, foam chunks orold rags.Gently fill the shirt until it is nice and plump looking, then either glue or sew the neck holeclosed with small stitches.For a fun effect add some badges to the t-shirt pillow.46
GamesTips for Teaching Games1. Choose games according to the ages, interests, and abilities of the group you are working with.Make sure you choose a game appropriate to the site you will be using.2. Know the game well so you don't have to refer to notes while you are teaching the activity.3. Make sure you collect all the supplies and equipment you will need for the game.4. Explain the game briefly and get them playing it as soon as possible. Ask for questions beforeyou begin.5. If the game is complicated, teach a portion at a time letting the girls play each portion as youteach it.6. Let the girls have fun with the game but stop when necessary to clear up any rules or to answerquestions regarding the action of the game.7. Stop the game after a reasonable amount of time even if some girls are begging to continue.8. Make sure you make any adaptations in the action or the rules of the game to accommodate girlswith special needs in the group.9. Make sure you check the playing area for any safety hazards as well as evaluate the game forpotential safety problems before you play the game with the girls.10. After the girls have observed several times you teaching games, give them a chance to teachtheir favorite game to the group.**********************************************************Game IdeasJunior to JuniorOne person is the caller. The girls are paired. The caller says different body parts that must be matchedwith their partner by touching. Example: toes to toes, elbows to elbows, knee to knees, chins to chin,etc. When the caller says ‘Junior to Junior,’ girls must find another partner. With an odd number of girls,the one without a partner is the caller.MingleOn the signal, players walk around the room saying “mingle, mingle.” The leader calls out a number andplayers quickly form groups of that number (for example, groups of 3 or 2 or 7, etc.) All players left outmove to the side and the remaining players continue as the leader calls out new numbers and groupingsuntil one or two players are left. The leader can also call out “all Girl Scouts” and they all form one biggroup!Charade BoxHave a box prepared with simple ideas to act out written on a slip of paper. These may be done alone orwith a buddy. Add to these or change them often if you find that the girls like this activity. Charades canbe as simple or complex as the girls are ready for; e.g., setting the table, bowling, drinking something youlike, eating corn on the cob,We’re Going On A PicnicHave each girl say, for example....“Hello, my name is Abby, I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringingApples.” The next girl in the circle will say, for example... “Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I’m bringing“Eggs.” This is my friend, Abby, and she is bringing apples. The pattern continues with each girl statingher own name, and an item that begins with the same letter as her first name. Each continues to add theones before her. You do not have to worry that a girl will not remember, the other girls in the circle willhelp her.47
