Try Something New
Curiosity means wanting to know more. Being curious about something helps you understand it more deeply. How do you get curious?... by trying new things!
Being curious leads to positive outcomes
- Curiosity helps develop your ability to ask better questions and better remember what you learn
- Curiosity increases self-confidence and kindness to ourselves and others through trying new things and being open to outside perspectives
- Curious people tend to be happier, less anxious and more resilient
- Curiosity motivates you to get involved and helps you stay engaged
- Curiosity increases empathy by encouraging us to think about other peoples’ perspectives
Try one or more of these activities to spark your curiosity!
The first time we do something new often doesn’t go as well as we hope. New skills are challenging and it’s okay to not be perfect the first time!
Make a post in the Curiosity rally sharing a time you started something new and what you learned from the experience. Make sure to respond to at least one other girl’s post too!
There are many different roles you can play at a cookie booth. Everyone has different strengths and different comfort levels. Work as a group and figure out what different roles everyone can have. Some examples are:
- cookie seller
- inventory manager
- money counter
- booth decor commitee
There is so much to learn. Is there a question you always wanted to know the answer to? Is there something you want to learn more about? Pick something you have always wanted to learn about and find a book at the library, a video or person to learn from.
You can also complete our patch programs on topics like grit, lemurs, DNA, baking, conservation and so much more!
Share something you learned with your troop.
Take some time to engage with the present state of the movement and your place in it with activities in the ‘Our Present’ section of the WAGGGS World Thinking Day Badge.
