Daisy Good Neighbor Workbook

This meeting is designed so the troop can complete it without traveling anywhere. But troops that have the option to hold it in the community can. Suggestions:

• Hold the meeting outside the school, since one task is drawing and labeling the school.
• Plan a community project, like picking up trash, to demonstrate being a good neighbor.

Neighbors can be the people living directly next to you, or another person in your community or state.

A neighbor can be seen as someone who lives near someone else.

People can have neighbors, states can have neighbors, and countries can have neighbors.

Talk about ways we can be good neighbors. Have the girls give examples.

• At school: behave so others can learn, help others when they need help with homework, clean up after ourselves.
• Near home: help neighbors with tasks like moving, be respectful of their property, be quiet.
• In the community: help clean public spaces, be respectful of public spaces, don't be disruptive, follow the rules.

Each state is different and special. Have the girls find their state and color it in one color.

Then color all the neighboring states in another color.

Have the girls share some special facts about your state: landmarks, famous people from your state, the state bird or flower.
