An hour long challenge - this one is frantic and requires quite a lot of equipment, as well as attention from the leaders. It's a basic version of a dollar market.

| Programme resources for guide and girl scout leaders. Most of these are aimed at the age group I work with - 10 to 14 year olds. Some of the ideas may be suited to other age groups. See also my unit's pages and the Best of GuidingUK . Please note that I can't take credit for many of these ideas. Some are mine, some I learnt years ago and can't remember where. Others come from email lists (particularly GuidingUK and WAGGGS-L) or trainings I've attended. If you see anything that you believe shouldn't be here (eg. because it's copyright) please let me know by email or sign my guestbook. If you find anything of use I'd love to know - I haven't tried all of these activities & would love to know how they went!
