Place Cards

26/9/13

This evening the girls were quite hyper because we're going on pack holiday tomorrow. We started the evening by playing games of charades in two groups while Snowy Owl sorted out what she wanted to do this evening. I was helping her so I'm not 100% sure how well that worked but it seemed to be quite good. We also sang 'Pass The Didgeridoo' (lyrics here) which the girls always request.

The girls were then designing their place cards to go on the table on pack holiday. Every mealtime we shuffle up the cards and place them out randomly on the table so that the girls sit next to different people, not just their friends (it also helps split up the noisy ones!). Each girl was given a piece of card folded in half to write their name on and then decorate however they wanted. The girls who aren't going on pack holiday were given a piece of card to write a leader's name on and decorate instead, as we only had enough for everyone going on pack holiday. I spent that time sat on a table with some of the girls, just talking about random things... I also collected in all the place cards and made sure we had enough for everyone.

It was quite a sedate evening, even with 18 hyper girls excited for tomorrow!
