Description

Icebreaker hopscotch

Resources

A chalk or taped-off hopscotch board (try to create at least one hopscotch board for every 5-10 kids)

Instructions

Set-up: Once the hopscotch reaches the floor, mark a random letter in each square.

Line up the girls in front of each hopscotch and tell them to hop ahead as far as they would like. Whatever square they land on, they have to share one of their favorite things that begins with that letter. For example, if a kid hops forward and ends with each foot on an “A” square and a “Z” square, they can turn to the rest of the group and say, “A is for apples, my favorite fruit,” and “Z is for zebras, my favorite animal”.

Once a Guide has completed the board, she can sit alongside the hopscotch to watch their peers hop over the board until everyone has had a chance to play. Because the sole purpose of this game is to get the girls talking about their favorite things, there is no 'winner' or 'loser'.
