Term 2008
9th January: South Africa    When we first arrived we made Teddy Bear
badges (similar to the promise badges worn by South African Rainbows -
known as Teddies). Next we played a game from South Africa called Mice
and Mealies. We then looked at pictures from South Africa and discussed
what we knew (or thought we knew!) about it. Finally we decorated paper
houses in the style of the Ndebele and used carrots to print a copy of
the South African flag. Tonight we also met Chocolate, a mascot who is
visiting us from Kentucky in the US.
16th January: Egypt
 On arrived we decorated
pictures from Egypt which were later laminated so that we could cut
them into jigsaw puzzles (though most of us ran out of time). We then
looked at some photographs from Egypt and tried some Egyptian dancing.
At the end of the meeting we made a camel from paper plates and
cardboard.
30th January: Kenya
  On arrival we sang songs. We
then made Kenyan style jewellery, zebras and lion masks. At the end of
the meeting we played 'Isn't it funny that a bear likes honey'.
6th February: Peter
Pan Promise Party
  On arrival we made a Tiger-Lily
style headband. After our new Rainbows had made their promise we played
a dice game where we stole Captain Hooks treasure, a running game where
we pretended to be characters from Never-Never-land and musical statues
to music from the Disney Peter Pan. We then ate a party tea.
20th February: World Centres  
 We 'visited' the four world
centres. As we arrived we made passports. At Our Cabana we tried a
craft called Papel Picado which
involves cutting shapes from tissue paper. At Sangam we made Rangoli
pictures. At Our Cabana we tried some jigsaw puzzles and at Pax Lodge
we made origami doves.
27th February: Madagascar   We went outside to hunt for
animals from Madagascar. We then printed Gekko pictures and made foam
Chameleons. At the end of the meeting Otter organised a running
version
of 'Isn't it funny that a bear likes honey' and read us a story about a
Chameleon.
  5th March: Rwanda As we arrived we made gorilla
double sided puppets. We then played 'Three little bears'. Next we made
Rwandan peace baskets.
12th March: Ghana
 
 On arrival we played Captain's
Coming. We then looked at pictures of masks from Ghana. We made our own
masks, drew adrinka symbols on purses and made coasters with pictures
of animals found in Ghana.
19th March: Easter!
   As we arrived we coloured
Easter cards. We then played Easter games, glass painted Easter
keyrings, made Easter fridge magnets and painted Easter windchimes.
