• Photographic search
  • Brownies like doing this on a walk. Go out the weekend before and take photos of gates, windows, drains, covers etc etc, Put these on a sheet of A4 and let the girls go out with a adult to each group to see how many of the pictures they can spot. It’s a good idea to give each Brownie a copy of the pictures, as then they all participate, rather than the more confident one taking charge and not letting younger or quieter girls see the pictures.
• Spot the signs
  • If you know lots of families near your meeting place give them a picture to put up in their window, it can be a letter or animal . Go out for a walk and see how many each group can spot. Do not give out the posters way in advance, the week before would be better as Mums do forget to do it. If you do letters rather than pictures then you can make a word. Either way you can start groups off going different ways which stops arguments of whose turn it is to go out first.
