Puberty
We divided the girls into groups and gave each group life size puzzle pieces that included arms, legs, feet, head, torso and the female reproductive organs. Each group put together their puzzle and labeled all of the female reproductive organs. Then the counselors put on a skit of the menstrual cycle and demonstrated how to use pads and tampons. We also answered questions.Math Games
In this activity we devided the girls into four groups that each went to separate stations. Each station had a different math game:
- Petals Around the Rose: A pattern guessing game with six dice.
- Balancing Scale: There are a bunch of objects of equal weight, except one weights slightly different. They have to figure out which object it is using a minimum number of weighs on the balance scale.
- Arranging Words: Have ten three letter words. Have to arrange them in a rectangle so that all adjacent words share a letter.
- Who Stole the Snack: Determine who stole the snack by considering true and false statements from the suspects.
