Description

Get your Brownies to use their imaginations to create their own animal friends to present to the unit. This is ideal if a Brownie doesn't have a pet at home but has a very active imagination. The Poster can be counted towards part of the "Friends to Animals" badge.

Instructions

1. Put each animal drawing into an envelope.
2. Ask the Brownies to get into four groups and to nominate a group leader. Place the envelopes on the floor at one end of the room, arranging them into their four animal groups.
3. Ask the group leaders to pick one envelope from each animal group. In their groups, ask the Brownies to open their envelopes.
4. Each group can now create its own unique composite animal from the four animals. Perhaps the animal will have the head of a dog, the body of a goose, the legs of a spider and the tail of a dolphin?
5. Ask each Brownie group to draw their animal on their large sheet of paper. They should also think of a name for it, what it likes to eat and drink, where it lives nd
how it exercises. What else will their animal need? What kind of personality will their new animal have?
6. Each group can then present their animal to the other Brownies.
