The WOW Wonders of Water It's Your Planet - Love It! Journey is on the agenda for our Brownies next fall, and we leaders are anxious to get going.
I'm always surprised by comments I've seen online poo-pooing a potential year focused on water. Think of all it ties into: our food, our health, our environment, our animals, even our faith. The possibilities are endless.
Today, I'd thought I'd share a few resources and ideas to tie into the Wonders of Water Journey, for any Brownie leaders out there hunting ideas:
Water Patch from the EPA: Though I'm not exactly certain the patch is still available, there are wonderful activities to consider.
World Water Monitoring Day resources: Water monitoring is an activity seemingly more geared toward older students than our second-graders, but there were some things more geared for younger ones, such as a mystery book on water we're at least exploring whether to offer the girls for fun. (Bonus: The items are free, though they encourage the donation of water-testing kits.)
Ocean Discovery Try-it
Let's Get Digging Try-it, which focuses on caving, erosion, etc...
In the Mud Try-It (though Midwesteners would have to tailor this)

We're also looking at the Home Scientist badge (great water-related activities!), our council's Fishing Try-it and the Household Elf badge, which focuses on greening our home.Would love to hear from others who have tackled these projects!
