Gloria's Story Videos

Some troops like to read the stories in person or on zoom, but sometimes it is fun to mix it up and watch a video. Here are a couple versions we found depending on what style you like.

This troop has a whole series of Daisy Petal videos using real life footage to make the story feel real.

This version features an adult reading the story, so you can see the pictures from the story however they are now held up close to the screen.

Daisy Girl Scout Gloria Petal Activities

There are several awesome activities you can do to teach and show respect. Her are some awesome ideas.

• Have an older Girl Scout speak to your Daisy Troop about respecting themselves and others – Your Daisy Girl Scouts need good role models in their lives, and thankfully, they can find a bunch of them in the GS! Find an older Girl Scout, like a Cadet, one who has shown that she respects herself and others. It will be inspiring to the girls – that will be them in a few years!
• ‘Roll Some Respect' dice game – This game is super simple and only requires dice. The girls will take turns rolling the die. Each number on the die corresponds to a question which each girl will answer regarding respect. Play multiple rounds – as time and interest allow. This activity is helpful in learning and retaining already learned virtues. By giving answers out loud, not only are they showing and reinforcing what they've learned, but it helps the other girls get ideas and further understand the meaning of being respectful and creating supportive atmospheres.
• Practice kids yoga
• Glitter and hand washing activity – Being respectful and mindful of others go hand in hand. If you're not a fan of glitter, you might want to stay away from this activity. Glitter does illustrate a great point and its very visual. In this activity, you mix vaseline (or lotion) with glitter and then shake hands with someone. This action visualizes how easy it is to pass things without knowing it, from one hand to the other. The girls will see that if they sneeze into their hand and don't wash, this is how easy it is for germs to be spread to everyone.

He'd rather be so many other things that what he was created to be. That is until he gets into a situation that shows him that being himself is the best answer.
• “I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem” – Told by both a little boy and a little girl, this story focuses on being happy and proud of who you are. Celebrating yourself because of how awesome you are being is a great way to live your life.
• “Shhh!” – Sometimes being loud and rambunctious all the time isn't being respectful and the shrew in this book is out to teach how silence can be a part of being respectful.
• Why Should I? – This is part of a series that teaches many positive values. They make great social stories because kids have often found themselves in similar situations to the main characters. Very relatable and easy to understand.
