| RIGHT / LEFT SWAP STORY This is a lot of fun in large groups because you find who REALLY knows their left from their right! Whenever the name Wright or the word right is heard, pass the swap/gift to the person on your right, when you here the word left, pass it to your left. When the word "Daisy" is said, all the Daisies say "We're so cute!", when the word "Brownie" is said, all the Brownies say "We're so sweet!" and Juniors, "We're growing up", Cadette or Seniors, "Can I have the Car?" on. When the word "Leader" is said, all the leaders should say "I'm sooo tired"! (Practice this a few times). (When we did this for a SU Leaders meeting we had just the leaders of the appropriate group say the level line and everyone said the leader line. Of course, it was very funny when we had decided the line for cadette/senior was "they're almost grown" and instead our only cadette/senior leader chose to say, "Heaven help me!" Many years ago, high on a mountain, there lived a family named WRIGHT. They had many cousins, all girls, and every last one's last name was WRIGHT. All of the cousins in the WRIGHT family belonged to a Girl Scout troop who loved to exchange swaps with other troops. There were DAISIES and BROWNIES and JUNIORS and CADETTES and SENIORS. Not one single girl was ever LEFT out! Joanna WRIGHT was the Troop LEADER and she was in charge of this year's big swap meet. Many, many Girl Scouts were getting together for a special event to celebrate Juliette Low's Birthday. Joanna WRIGHT tried to think of everything they would need for the event and she LEFT nothing to chance. Joanna WRIGHT took all the WRIGHT cousins to the craft store to pick up all the supplies they would need to make their swaps. She loaded them all into her van and LEFT RIGHT on time. Melissa WRIGHT, one of the Seniors, had been so organized. She made out a list of what she thought she would need for her swaps. She was going to make friendship bracelets. When they arrived at the store, she got RIGHT to work searching for everything she'd need. Alison WRIGHT was in kindergarten, and she thought something made with a DAISY would be just RIGHT. She loves flowers, so she headed RIGHT to the flower department. It was located to the LEFT of the paints. Stephanie and Kimberly WRIGHT just went camping with the other JUNIORS, so they decided to make mini sit-upons to remind them of their camping trip. So they picked out a checkered table cloth that would be just RIGHT to use for their project. Molly WRIGHT was a BROWNIE, so she decided to make a little brown elf. She picked out clothespins and felt. She almost LEFT without yarn for the hair, but luckily she remembered before she LEFT. Suzy WRIGHT, one of the CADETTES, searched long and hard for something to make. She went up the aisles on the LEFT and went down the aisles on the RIGHT. She finally decided to make silver hearts to represent the Silver Award she just received. And so it went, all of the WRIGHT family Girl Scouts found the materials they needed for their swaps. They paid for their things and LEFT the store with bags full of supplies. When they arrived back at the meeting place, the WRIGHT cousins went RIGHT to work on their swaps. They cut, glue, pinned, taped and stapled everything together to make their project just RIGHT. They attached safety pins and a little tag with their name and troop number. They were very excited for the event! At the swap meet the WRIGHT family cousins met many Girl Scouts from all over and some that were RIGHT from their own town. They met DAISIES and BROWNIES and JUNIORS and CADETTES and SENIORS. Lots and lots of LEADERS brought their troops with them that day! They exchanged greetings and did the Girl Scout Handshake. You know the Girl Scout Handshake don't you? You shake with your LEFT hand, and make the Girl Scout Sign with your RIGHT! Let's try it! Everyone do the Girl Scout Handshake with the person to your RIGHT and LEFT! Wonderful! That is just the way the WRIGHT girls did it at their swap meet! The WRIGHT family cousins couldn't believe what beautiful swaps they received and what wonderful friends they had made. They LEFT that evening with smiles on their faces, memories in their hearts and swaps pinned RIGHT to their hats! Just like all of you will be going away with your own swaps and memories from this evening. Isn't that RIGHT? Or is it LEFT? |
