 Magazines

Instructions

Aim of Badge:
To encourage an interest in foreign travel.

Introduction:
People have to get a passport to be able to travel around the world. Passports tell everyone certain details about the person who the passport belongs to, like what country they come from, their name and their age. You can also get a stamp in your passport to show people what countries you have travelled to.

Instructions
1. Discuss the reasons as to why people might need a passport. When do you use a passport?
2. Hand out a template to each Brownie and colouring supplies to each Six.
3. The Brownies fill in their pretend Brownie passport details.
4. In the world stamps section, if you are using a globe or map of the world you can allow the Brownies to find the names of different countries and insert them here. Alternatively, they can colour world flags in the spaces or make up imaginary country names.

Or

Make it a game:

Instructions
1. Set up chairs like a plane, in a couple of rows with an aisle.
2. Fly to each of your destinations and learn a greeting, taste a food and find it on a map at each country.
3. Stamp the passport and fly to the next location

• Consider having boiled lollies, magazines and ‘sick bags’ for effect. Discuss what the inflight movie will be.
• The Pilot can fly the plane – be aware of turbulence and steep banking to the left or right.
• Any countries can be chosen as locations – think about the greetings and foods you know, or
• that are represented in your unit – here are some ideas to get started
