Pictures would be taken of the child and added to a book that would be entitled Women and Girls who are courageous and strong.

Learn about the history of dancing through the ages by seeing pictures and a video of a dance performance involving dancing through the decades. Listen to a variety of music styles as you warm up your body from your head to your toes. Learn some dance steps and rehearse them together with other Brownie Girl Scouts. Put all the steps together to create a short routine. Interpretive dance can be used to tell a story. Choreograph your own short dance to illustrate a story that you want to tell and perform it for the others.

Brownie workshop: Making Games: Creative Play
You can have fun without a computer, a deck of cards, or even a ball. Games are everywhere when you use your imagination to make them up! Sign up for this badge and watch your girls have the time of their lives. We will start off with a simple mystery circle game. Then they will design their very own board game. They will become the instructors and tell the other team how to play their game. While one team plays team A’s game, the other plays my giant Candy Land game. I make up the rules, they are the pieces and they get to go around my game board. If they land on any of my special candy symbol squares, they get to take a piece of that candy to eat. In the end they will land on my Smore bog and make and eat their very own Smore. After they play once, then it’s their turn to make up the rules to my game.

Cadette workshop: Public Speaker badge: Stage presence: Finding your inner performer
They call it stage presence: the ability to be yourself and make a connection with people on a single level or in a crowd. If you are comfortable, so is your audience. A great presenter’s talent for conveying there points clearly and powerfully is useful everywhere, not just in politics or on a stage. Words are only part of a performance. It is how you deliver your speech or monologue that will capture the audiences’ attention or lose it completely. In this workshop, learn the basic skills of speaking loudly and clearly with inflection and confidence. Using effective body movement and having a focal point help make your speech or monologue successful and engaging to an audience.

Select a character's biography from our collection at the theatre. Write a monologue or speech. Practice it with a partner and perform it during the last 20 minutes of the workshop in front of troop leaders and parents. We will include props and costumes if they choose to use them to enhance their performance.
