Instructions

Activity #1 – Why Zombies Don’t Have Friends: As a patrol discuss and record 10 reasons why zombies don’t make a good friend. Patrols could choose to show it as a poster or act out their 10 reasons as a news bulletin. If you have access to large paper, they could draw around someone’s body to be the zombie and record their reasons inside or around the outside of the body shape.

Activity #2 – Friendship Salad: Use the zombie activity to link to sharing what it means to be a good friend. Lead into that we have our own qualities (unlike zombies) that help us be good friends to others. Go on to make a friendship salad (fruit kebab version) to represent their friendship qualities. Patrols work to prepare and cut the fruit for the friendship salad. Girls then make their own friendship salad (on a skewer), and each fruit piece represents something that makes them a good friend. Once ready, girls find a partner and take turns sharing what each piece of fruit represents and then eats it. You can draw this activity together at the end by also asking ‘what makes a good fruit salad?’ – this should lead into having a variety of fruit that all are good to eat. Ask ‘would you put a rotten piece of fruit in?’ Link: Your friendships are made up of variety of people who bring their good friend qualities, but you wouldn’t want to spend time with someone who was not a good friend i.e. the rotten fruit.
