Brownie Magic 2003 BC Camping – Revised July 2003

1 of 25

WELCOME TO:

BROWNIE MAGIC “AROUND THE WORLD” ! Thanks to all of you for requesting our Around the World Brownie “Camp in a Box”! We hope you will enjoy the international theme we have put together for you. Included you will find the program, program notes, crafts, games, a campfire outline, menu, kit list, permission slip, event forms, financial report form and an order form for crests. Also, for those of you with access to the Internet, please check out the Provincial, National and WAGGGS sites for information on the World Centres, twinning projects, CWFF and much more international information. We couldn’t include everything we wanted to! Please follow the Safe Guide when planning your event. Zone West designed our great crest. Thanks to BC Council, there is NO CHARGE for the crests again this year! (BC Guiders only) Please forward your order to the address on the form and be sure to print clearly and include all the required information. Please allow a minimum of 4 weeks delivery time. We have also included an evaluation form for you to send back after your camp. We really appreciated the Guiders who took the time to return the evaluation after our 1st “Camp in a Box”. The suggestions and comments were very helpful in the creation our next package. The challenge of providing the camp outline is the diversity of regions of the province, time of year that the camps will take place, the number of participants at each camp and the many different residential facilities that will be used! So please, send us your feedback! The most important thing - flexibility! If we have included something that you feel won’t work for your unit or facility, change it! We tried to keep things simple but fun and “magical” for the girls. Please use your wonderful creativity as required! Most of all - have fun at camp! Thank you for sharing in Brownie Magic “Around the World”! BC Camping Committee

Program Notes:

Circle Names: (suggestions) Brownies names from other countries Sunbirds (Papua New Guinea) Hadita (“Fairy”, Mexico) Cirauda (Brazil) Kuenaree (Korea) Tunas Puteri (Malaysia) Kabouter (Netherlands) Zahras (Oman) Sunbeam (Botswana) Kuda Mithuriye (“Little Friend”, Sri Lanka) Passports: Make up passports with challenges that the girls will be completing during the camp. This is something you may want to do before camp at a regular unit meeting. Use stamps or stickers on the pages when the Brownie has completed an activity, challenge or the World Friendship badge. Name Tags: Choose a shape (perhaps the flag of the country they chose) for each Circle’s name tags and have them pre-cut. You could use construction paper, fun foam, etc. Have felt pens, stickers, glow in the dark shapes, etc. available for the girls to decorate their name tags. (check out your local $ store) Decide if they are going to be pinned on their hats or shirts for the weekend. Scarves: Cut inexpensive cotton into squares for scarves. Stitch or use pinking shears on the edges to prevent fraying. Have a different colour for each Circle. Use the Friendship Circle pattern (included) and fabric paint onto the scarf. Girls could sign and date their scarf as a keepsake! Lend a Hand Duties: Duties could include: helping with meal preparation, setting and clearing the table, dishes, sweeping the floors, tidying washrooms, etc. You know your girls and your camp location best so your team can decide how helpful the Brownies can be!

Option “A” Program – Saturday Morning

Craft Time: Make instruments from around the world, a didgeridoo, castanets, maracas, rainsticks and wobble boards. Practice with them and play along with a tape of up-beat ethnic music; or learn Ak Shav, words, music and dance in “Celebrate with Song” p123, Friendship Dance – Sing a Song with Sparks and Brownies p28 See attached sheets for specific supplies and instructions for instruments


7 of 25

Active Games: Catch the Dragon’s Tail, Barefoot Soccer, Bola, Hopscotch Around the World Use our suggestions, your resource books and ask the girls to choose their favourites! The facility you hold your camp in, the time of year and weather will all factor in to the type and number of active/wide games you may want to do. See attached instructions for games.

Option “B” Saturday Morning Invite local cultural organizations to come and spend the morning showing the Brownies national costumes, foods, crafts, music and dances. Invite groups in to teach belly dancing, Highland dancing, Ukrainian dancing! Set up stations and use the round robin format. Have stations where they learn to wrap a sari, make tortillas, paint Ukrainian Easter eggs. Use your community resources! Saturday Afternoon Story Time and/or Siesta: (suggestions, check out your local library) Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain – Verna Aardema The King’s Flower – Mitsumasa Aano All the Way to Morning – Marc Harshman Love Can Build a Bridge – Naomi Judd Muffaro’s Beautiful Daughter – John Steptoe Saturday Afternoon World Friendship Badge (p42 Brownie Program Book) Make Lanterns for Campfire (instructions included) Barefoot Soccer More International Hopscotch Yoga Sing-a-long/Campfire: Friday evening sing-along is an informal time to sing your unit’s favourite songs and perhaps learn some new ones for Saturday’s campfire. If the girls make instruments, include them in your campfire! Please see attached Campfire outline as well as suggestions for Friday night’s sing-a-long.


8 of 25

Sunday Morning Activity Dancing! Practice what you learned on Saturday! Guides Own Read the story of the Peace Crane by Sheila Hamanata (this is a beautifully illustrated version of Sadako’s story) or Read Old Turtle by Douglas Wood Closing: Zulu Farwell – p62 Jubilee Song Book Brownie Taps Extras We have included some other ideas in the package that you may wish to use instead of or in addition to the program outline. We know from the many comments that came back to us from the first “Brownie Magic” that some wonderful ideas were born to expand on our suggestions! Ideas for decorating include: flags of the world, travel posters, a map of the world, paper dolls in Brownie uniforms from around the world, etc. Please keep in mind that “Brownie Magic” will take place in a wide variety of venues, anytime of the year with varying numbers of girls and adults at each camp. You may need to make adjustments for your specific situation. If we have included something in the program that you find won’t work for your unit or location, be creative! The important thing is to make it work for you and your Brownies! If you think you’ll need more outdoor games than crafts because the weather is perfect, substitute. If you know it’s going to be below freezing or a downpour all weekend, plan for more craft time. Be flexible!

Active Games

Catch the Dragon’s Tail (Cambodian, Chinese, Indonesian) This game requires skill, perception and group awareness. The players stand in a line, single file, and holding the waist of the girl in front, walk in time to the music. When the music ends the first person, who is head of the dragon, tries to tag the last person, who is the tail. The tail tries to escape without breaking the line. If the line does break, the game starts again. When the head catches the tail, the tail moves to the front of the line to become the head, and everyone moves down the line.

Barefoot Soccer Children in South Africa and many other African countries play soccer, but they don’t wear soccer cleats or sneakers; instead they kick the ball with bare feet. Play on a soft lawn and scan the ground for rocks, sticks and other sharp objects first.

Bola Down on the Pampas of Argentina, gauchos (cowboys) used a bola to lasso cattle, this bola is a version of jump rope. Like a lasso, the rope is twirled by one person and everyone else leaps like calves on the run. To make a bola stuff a rubber softball into a long sock or knee-high and tie a knot just above the ball and attach a long skipping rope or clothesline securely to the sock. Lie down on your back and start spinning one bola, slowly letting out the rope, when you have a radius of about 12feet, everyone can begin jumping into the circle. After everyone has had a bit of practice, increase the speed of the bola. As jumpers get more agile they can try skipping the rope while holding hands with a partner or maybe everyone can hold hands! If you are nicked by the bola you might find yourself tied up at the ankles, try again!

Hopscotch Try two or three different international ways of playing hopscotch, see Mary D. Langford.s Hopscotch around the world (JNF 796.14) with games from Aruba, Bolivia, Czechoslovakia, El Salvador, France, Germany, Great Britain, Honduras, India, Italy, Nigeria, China, Poland, Trinidad, Russia and the United States.

Hatha Yoga – yoga for health The Butterfly: 1. sit with back straight. 2. bring soles of your feet together and hold your feet. 3. gently move knees up and down like wings. 4. straighten out your legs, breath deeply and relax. The Bow: 1. lie on stomach and bend your legs so you can hold your ankles. 2. lift your head and hips and balance on your stomach. 3. holding your ankles, rock gently back and forth, try to keep you arms straight. 4. stop rocking, let go, relax. Remember, don’t do anything if it hurts!

CRAFTS

Paper Dolls and National Dress see the book Globalchild

Mural

Each girl will draw a picture of herself in a national costume on 81/2 x 11 paper or construction paper, in groups, take turns working on the background and landmarks (Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, Pyramids, Ayres Rock, … buildings, geographical features, animals, … types of areas – jungle, desert, mountains, … flags) Tin Lantern or Luminaria (German, Mexican, Nicaraguan, Spanish) Pierced tin lanterns are used in many countries. Spanish children in rural areas use them for outdoor lighting, Mexican children carry them in posadas, German children carry then in Lampen Laufen. Prepare these by filling 1 tin can per child with water and freezing overnight. Make lanterns outdoors, or indoors on plastic sheets. Have a bucket and sponge ready to soak up spills. time: 15 minutes materials: 1 ice-filled can per child hammers & short nails bucket & sponge 1 short, fat candle (tea light?) per child 8” piece plastic coated wire – 1 per child long wooden matches

Use hammer & nails to punch hole on either side of cans open end (for the handle). Punch more holes all over the sides (make your own design or use one from a book). When there are enough holes, empty the ice into a bucket and turn the can upside down to dry. When completely dry turn over and place a candle inside. Make the handle by pushing the wire through the first two holes made and twisting back on itself to keep in place. Hang up the lantern and light the candle. To carry the lantern safely, cover the top of the can.

Worry Doll In Central America, children put worry dolls under their pillows, before going to sleep. They tell it all their worries and in the morning, their worries are gone! For a worry doll you will need : 11/2 pipe cleaners, markers, scrap of fabric, scissors, tacky glue, scrap of construction paper, yarn. Bend the whole pipe cleaner in half so a loop forms in the top. Twist the loop to make the doll’s head, bend the ends of the cleaner for the feet, wrap the half cleaner around the bottom of the loop for arms; bend the ends for hands. Cut out the doll’s face from scrap paper. Use markers to draw eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Glue face onto loop, and yarn on for hair. Wrap a scrap of fabric around the doll and glue in place.


11 of 25

Try making smaller worry dolls. How small can you go? What size pipe cleaner would you need? If you attach a small one to a pony-tail holder, safety pin, barrette you have a great hat craft, or jewellery.

Sponge Paint T-shirts Paint white t-shirts with orange fabric paint using the Friendship Flyer stencil, make photocopies for each girl to cut out, alternatively use the stencil on a brightly coloured shirt and bleach as per instructions for trefoil shirt from “Canadian Guider”. Mac-tac works well as a stencil – sticks to the fabric and doesn’t allow “bleeding”.

Mexican Tin Owl 8” or 9” aluminium pie plate scrap paper to make an owl pattern that will fit the pie plate circle markers ballpoint pens pencils scissors staples Cut away the sides of the pie plate. To make a stand – take about a 5” piece of the pie plates side and overlap the two ends together and staple. Trace owl pattern onto scrap paper, cut out and trace onto the pie plate circle with a ballpoint pen, press the pen lightly to create an etched-in design for feathers, dots and other details. The more detail you give it the better it will look. Cut out the body of the tin owl. Cut out two wings from the leftover scraps, colour with markers, and staple the wings to the body. Staple the owl to the stand. Adjust as necessary to make the owl stand up. INSTRUMENTS Ankle Bells (Burmese, East Indian, Sri Lankan) 10” (or 20” for headband) strip of 1” wide elastic 5 small bells needle & thread Knot the 5 small bells at regular intervals onto the elastic. Sew the two ends of the elastic together. Nigerian Iced Tea Box Drum At harvest time in Nigeria, people dance and beat tin drums at the Zolla Festival. 1 large round iced-tea or fruit drink crystal container with a top and bottom. Scissors Finger paint Glossy white shelf paper White craft glue Newspaper Cover the work area with newspaper. Cut shelf paper to fit around the container, and finger paint designs on paper. Let dry completely. Glue paper around can for drum. Cover a cotton ball with a square of fabric, hold it on the end of a pencil with an elastic band for a drum stick.


12 of 25

Seed Shaker Maracas 2 paper cups aluminium foil (recycled!) masking tape dried beans or seeds scissors tissue paper white craft glue Place a few beans or seeds in one cup, turn the second cup upside down on top of the other, tape the cups together for a maracas. Wrap one in aluminium foil then glue on tissue paper decorations. Now listen to Mexican music; wear colourful clothes and shake your maracas!!!! Didgeridoo A wind instrument from the Aboriginal peoples of Australia, it may be one of the oldest wind instruments in the world. It is made from parts of the eucalyptus tree. A cardboard paper towel tube (or a gift wrap tube for a longer instrument) White tempura paint Thin paint brush Use the white paint to create Aboriginal – like designs on your tube, let dry. To play your didgeridoo, puff out your cheeks and push out your lips, next press your lips up against the didgeridoo and blow air through your lips so they vibrate, you should be making low-pitched buzzing sounds. Make music; listen to some Australian music. Clicking Castanets Flamenco dancers in Spain click their heels quickly on the floor and play castanets as they dance to guitar music. For 2 castanets Cardboard (shirt packing etc.) Scissors 4 large buttons tacky glue markers Cut out two 2’ x 5” cardboard rectangle, glue a button on each end of the same side for the castanets. Let dry, decorate with markers and fold in half, the buttons together. Be a Spanish Dancer! Wear a lace mantilla, hold your hands high, click your castanets and dance!
