Instructions

Introduction
There are many ways to mark or celebrate World Thinking Day.
This activity will help the Guides organise a World Thinking Day ceremony. There are lots of ideas presented in the International edition of Trefoil News each January.

Instructions
Have a discussion with the Guides about World Thinking Day. World Thinking Day is celebrated on 22 February every year and is an opportunity to celebrate international friendship, learn about and take action on important issues and fundraise in support of the World Thinking Day Fund. If there are other Branches in the District/Area as well, the Guides can involve the Ladybirds, Brownies and Senior Branchers in the ceremony by doing the activities with them.

To do the activity below, put the Guides into their Patrols and divide the Ladybirds and Brownies between the Patrols, making sure there are Ladybirds and Brownies in each of the Guide Patrols.

Guides get two Ladybirds and two Brownies to lie on a piece of wallpaper and get the other Ladybirds and Brownies to help the Guides to draw around them.

• Using this outline each Patrol chooses four Girl Guides from the list of countries and draws in the uniform.
• Colour in the uniforms.
• Cut the figure out or leave it as it is. Either way you will end up with life-sized international Girl Guides!

For the action story, consider asking the Patrol Leaders to read the story.

Finish off the ceremony with a song e.g. ‘This little Guiding light of mine’.
