Games for Girl Scouts

My troop still wants a game every meeting. This book has been an invaluable resource for them.

As a new girl scout leader, I found this book to be a very valuable tool. It is filled with hundreds of games that can be played in many different settings. In each chapter, it explains why play certain types of games and why they benefit the girls. It is arranged under easy to reference chapter headings with symbols by each game indicating whether games can be played indoors, outdoors, either, by small groups, large groups, either, international origins and age requirements. These are only guidelines as many of the games can be modified to suit individual troop needs. Many of the games need no extra props, just the girls themselves. Games for Girl Scouts also make reference to other Girl Scout materials which can be incorporated into the learning process along with the game or games being played. I highly recommend Games for Girl Scouts, not just for those involved with scouting, but for anyone who works with children. It is handy, complete and fun!
