The "Me" Bag

Equipment:

• Old magazines
• Scissors,
• Glue,
• Paper,
• Bags (one per person).

Method

1. Each person is given a paper bag.
2. Look through magazines and cut out pictures that show the YOU that everyone else sees.
1. Stick those pictures on the outside of your paper bag.
3. Cut out pictures that show the you that you know - your feelings, ambitions, hopes, etc. 
1. Place these pictures inside your paper bag.
4. In pairs or threes, tell each other about your bags - you choose whether or not you'd like to share the pictures inside your bag.

• Some of the things you might choose to talk about are:
• Why did you choose the pictures on and in your bag?
• Are the pictures on the inside of your bags similar to the ones on the utside?
• Why?
• Why not?
• How?
• Are many of our true feelings and hopes kept inside?
• Do we show a different picture of ourselves to others?
• Only to certain people?

SINGING IN THE RAIN

We're singing in the rain, just singing in the rain.

What a glorious feeling, we're happy again.

Thumbs up! [Group echoes.]

Toot-ta-ta-da, toot-ta-ta-da, toot-DA-DA. [Group echoes.]

[Add each of the following, in turn:]

Elbows in, Knees bent, Toes together, Buns back

Chest out, Chin down, Tongue out

Junior Birdsmen

Chant:
Oh my goodness, oh my soul, here comes the junior j bird patrol!
Sing: Up in the air, junior birdsmen,
(Make thumb and forefinger goggles over eyes,)
Up in the air, upside down
(bend head low)
Up in the air, junior birdsmen,
With your noses to the ground.
When you hear the grand announcement,
(Hands cupped over ears,)
That your wings are made of tin,
(Flap wings)
Then you'll know you're a Junior birdsman,
(Goggle eyes)
So send your box tops in.
You need five boxtops,
(Five fingers up
Four bottle bottoms,
Four fingers up
Three labels,
Three fingers up
Two wrappers,
Two fingers up
One thin dime.
One linger up
Zooooommmm!
Flyaway)


(Traditional, North America Summer Camp)
