Instructions

Introduction
This activity will help your Brownies to learn how to behave around wild animals or birds so as not to disturb them.

Instructions
1. Arrange Brownies in a circle with a chair in the middle.
2. Select one Brownie to be blindfolded and sit on the chair.
3. Place a bunch of keys under the chair.
4. Another Brownie tries to remove the keys without being heard.
5. The blindfolded Brownie says if she can hear a noise and points to where it is coming from.
6. If a Brownie gets the keys successfully, then she gets blindfolded next.
7. Keep playing until all Brownies have had a chance to get the keys and be blindfolded.

Debrief
Relate this back to how quiet you need to be around a wild animal or bird. Ask the Brownies how difficult they found the game. Discuss the importance of not disturbing nesting birds or animals with their young e.g. in spring, by not cutting hedges or disturbing habitats.
