World Thinking Day 2012 Activities for Daisies

•Make creative “Switch-me-off” reminder notes and stick them on the light switches, electric appliances and water taps in your house, school or Girl Scout meeting place.

•Take a nature walk with you Daisy friends, and try to remember all the things you see on the walk. What are their shapes, sizes, colors and textures (how do they feel?) Afterwards, share with your friends what you saw.

•Think of different ways to save water at your house and school. Draw a picture of them or make a list to display at your school, home or Girl Scout meeting place.

•Learn about an endangered species in your area. Where does it live? What does it eat? What animals eat it? What are its habits? Why is it threatened with extinction? What can we do to help? Draw a picture or present a skit about what the environment would be like if that species goes extinct.

•Pick a country that you would like to visit some day. With an adult’s help, learn about the county’s national tree, flower, bird and animal. Then try to find some pictures showing nature in that country and ways people are working to protect their natural environment.

•Look around the room you are in and try to find all the things that came from nature. For example, a wooden table was made from a tree or the glass window came from sand. With your Daisy friends, make a collage showing the links between the objects in the room and the natural world from where they came.
