Daisy Use Resources Wisely Workbook

For this meeting you will need to choose a book to read to the troop. You can also play a read-aloud video from YouTube.

Page 1

Read a book to your troop that covers the topic of resources and using resources wisely. Here are some popular choices. If you don't have access to the book, you can also show a read-aloud video.

• The Wartville Wizard (Buy on Amazon)
• The Wump World (Buy on Amazon)
• The Lorax (Buy on Amazon)
• Common Ground: The Water, Earth, and Air We Share (Buy on Amazon)

Here the girls learn about different types of resources. You can explain that some things are finite (like land) and others replenish themselves (like air). But regardless, we must try to keep these resources clean, and we must be sure not to overuse certain resources.

The resources on this page are:

• Water
• Trees/Forest
• Electricity
• Food
• Soil/Land
• Gasoline/Oil

Have the girls do a craft using recyclable materials. It can be a simple collage using newspapers and magazines. Or you can follow the instructions on this page to make an easy Peanut Butter Bird Feeder.

Use seed butters like sunflower seed butter if there are any allergies.

Lastly, have the girls write how they will use resources wisely.
