It is a part of your job as a Daisy Girl Scout leader is to teach the girls to be responsible for what they say and do. They need to run certain parts of the meetings, as well as the Pledge of Alligence, the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law. As they get older, they will have a Kaper chart for different jobs. A chore chart like the one below will help the girls be more responsible at home, earning the orange petal. You can also use this craft to earn the yellow petal, "Friendly and Helpful", as they are being helpful, too.

Things You Will Need

8 x 11 constrcution paper, all the same light color, one for each girl (prepped for them-see directions)

markers

story book about being responsible (optional)

Step 1

At the beginning of your meeting, ask the girls what the word "responsibility" means. Ask them waht they are responsible for at their Daisy meetings, in their classrooms, and in their homes. Then ask them what happens when jobs don't get done. Think of some scenarios, for example, what if a teacher did not prepare her lessons for the day? What happens if you do not take care of your pet? What happens is no one goes to the grocery store?

Tell the girls that they are going to make a chart that lists five chores they will be responsible for at home.

Step 2

Hand out construction paper that you have prepared for them. At the top, write "_____________'s Helper Chart". The girls will fill in their name. Leave enough space on the left side for the girls to trace their hand. On the right side, draw five lines for the chores to be written on. Number them for the girls.

Step 3

In pencil, have the girls trace their hand. They can decorate the hand with markers. When they take them home, have their parents talk about what chores they will write in.

At your next Daisy Girl Scout meeting, ask the girls what their chores are and if they are actually doing them! See if they are really earning the orange Daisy petal or if they need a new lesson in being responsible.
