Activities

The World Thinking Day theme for 2009 is girls worldwide say “Stop the spread of AIDS, malaria and other diseases”. This topic links to the Millennium Development Goal 6: ‘Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases’ and WAGGGS’ Global Action Theme.

What can you do?

We have developed a number of resources to help you explore the issue of contagious diseases such as HIV and AIDS and Malaria, and to fundraise for World Thinking Day.

Activity sheets are divided into three topics:

Each activity sheet contains practical ways to learn about the theme, ranging from designing a poster to the ‘swat the mozzie’ game! Three factsheets give you more information to help with research activities.

Most of these activities are suitable for ages five years and above. There are some which are more suited to our ‘older members’ (10 years and above) although these activities may also be suitable for other age groups. We suggest you use your discretion when choosing suitable activities for your group.

If you have any ideas that you would like to share with other leaders around the world then please complete the user comments box below and send them to us.

Thinking day is a very important day for girl guides all over the world. I'm happy to be part of it and i think more people should get involved.

Thinking day is an important day and girl guides have a chance to show their concerns about the lives of the needy in society. in my country it was a day to help those who were affected by post election violence that rendered many helpless and homeless. Kenya.

I think that Thinking Day should be known by all Girl Scouts. It is a very important day in history. I'm glad it's known worldwide.
