European landmarks

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Extension activity for the Europe badge. There are seven landmark buildings on the actual cloth badge. Brownies recreate the landmarks in 2D using craft matchsticks. Teamwork and consideration needed to design and build each structure (while avoiding clumsy actions which could destroy it).


Resources

Pictures of buildings (attached), an A4 sheet of coloured paper for each Six, a handful of craft matchsticks for each Six.

Instructions

Explain the challenge. Allow each Sixer to choose one building picture, then give a piece of coloured paper and handful of matchsticks to each Six.
Have a tour at the end to view the artworks (and the spare buildings pictures).

Take a photo of each matchstick picture for posterity, then the paper and matchsticks can be reused. (example attached)

Alternately, glue the matchsticks to the paper for a more permanent display.
