Activity Ideas

If you haven’t already seen it, can we suggest that you look on the Girlguiding website and read about this new resource.

The theme is about saying together we can help implement the Millennium Development Goals.

The pack includes introductory and in depth activities for all Sections, and is available at a cost of £9.50; with badges priced at £1.00 each.

Everyone loves bubble blowing -

Make your own giant bubble blower

Roll a sheet of A4 paper loosely round the tube in a kitchen roll and stick the edge down with sticky tape. Remove the cardboard tube.

Put a little bubble liquid in a plastic cup. Dip the paper tube into the liquid and remove it.

Gently blow the other end and watch the bubbles!
