The scheduling and the organization orchestra was perfect. Building up to that level of organizing an event is extraordinary and a lesson for another day.
1. Always carry your magic with you
I have a magical songs book picked up form a Girlscouts leader meeting.
At a camp, when other troops were doing skits, I wanted my troop to prticipate too. I recalled the existence of the book and dug it out of the big box.
I asked if anyother adult knew any music. I gave it to one of he girls who seemed to enjoy, reading aloud from it. She even got other girls to dance to that music when I asked them to practise. The book had a small print, which meant, one would read from it and others follow. One of the other girls didnt want to copy. That was the best course present. Eventually on the stage, they all did so well. The followers were particularly loud, to reach the large audience. The choice of the song - Every Girl Everywhere by Melinda Caroll and a Funky Chicken. One insirational, another fun.
Back home, the book charmed my younger one to make up her own lyrics.
It is a magical book that made the girl a star, which she didnt believe that she was.

Repeat, Trepeat, Frepeat
We learned
Herme the worm song earlier in the day at fire safety station where the camp counselors shared, when asked about a camp song. While waiting for skits sectiona nd behind the scenes (literally, as the kitchen was behind the podium for the
Icecream in a Ziploc), the leader making all the little girls sing this song, was a learning moment for the rest.
The firesafety workshop was well built with theory upfront, demo with the concepts, no matches involved and in the end a treat involving graham crackers, chocolate rocks. And a summary, who wouldnt drill this concept inside their head, with so many competitions. I am so using this for any workshop. Ace presenters.
3. Repeat, peat, eat
If you know how to sing the
There Was A Crocodile song, then you will see whats going on with the title. This is a minus song where you keep subtracting the animal. Sounds like a very coder game, where you are removing any pattern that matches an animal progressively, one at a time. A leader urged her daughter to do this, so little girls could be introduced to the song. Leadership in the making.
B
lack socks song for hydration.
The girls didnt enjoy the field activities. My work here is cutout for me, Operation Game Face patch.
