Instructions

1. Drop the pebble into container of water. Watch ripples move, did they reach the edge of the container?

2. Read aloud:
The pebble represents each small act of peace and kindness we do, and the ripples represent how our actions reach out to others. What would happen if ten million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all took one action toward peace, what would those ripples look like? What difference would that make in the world?

3. Now pick up the pebble and close your eyes. How does the pebble feel in your hand? How heavy is it? How strong is it? Where do you think it has been?

4. Now think of the pebble’s home and what amazing, joyful, and peaceful moments it has seen.

5. How can you bring that same energy, tranquillity, and peace to one person in your community, perhaps someone who have never met before?

6. On your pebble write down one action you can take within the next week to build this feeling of peace.

7. If you are in a group, put all your pebbles together, and build an image of peace. This can be anything that symbolises peace to you.

8. Keep your pebble as a reminder of the impact that you can make as one of ten million to build peace.

[Alternatively paint a design on your pebble that reminds you of peace].
