Since 2007, Game On! Sports 4 Girls has spent significant time with the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana offering programs that permit Brownie and Daisy troops to earn patches and badges relating to fair play, fitness, healthy living, sports and team building.
Curriculum: We coordinate with individual troops in order to customize the program topic and goal as well as date. Each troop secures its own gym space. Our sessions typically run 45 minutes. Virtual options available!
Our agenda typically looks something like this:
- We start out with a fun warm-up and stretching session, discussing the importance of both
- We then follow with a fun game or two involving teams that addresses the program goal and stresses character-building concepts such as teamwork, fair play, etc. We also strive to teach a fundamental sport skill (i.e. throwing a ball with proper form).
- It is crucial that at the completion of the game, or even during play if warranted, we take time to engage the girls in an interactive conversation about the appropriate messages. By posing different scenarios and discussing their associated feelings and emotions, we succeed in teaching a lesson.
- We end with an empowering team challenge and cheer. We typically send home an educational sheet that reviews the lessons and messages of the session.
Cost: $10/participant. If this is a hardship for your troop, please reach out to info@gameonsports4girls.com.
We highly recommend filing out the interest form below, 2-3 months before your meeting. We do book up quickly. We will only accommodate meetings between the hours of 9am-5pm.
Outcome: The girls earn a badge or patch, learn, and have a blast. Below is a sample of the feedback we have received from a troop leader:
Dear Game On! Thank you so much for coming and leading our troop through some of your activities. The girls had a great time! I had a parent event with some of the mom’s from our troops Friday night and they all expressed what a good time the girls had. All of the leaders were impressed with your production and ability to engage the girls, especially with such a large group. Thanks again for coming! It is evident that you run a terrific program. My co leaders and the other troop leaders will be spreading the word about what a great program Game On! Sports Camp 4 Girls has. – Karen H, Troop #40153 leader
