Girl Scouts
My partner (Neil, who's a new poster here) and I were recently approached by a Girl Scouts troop leader to give a fitness presentation to her troop. They are having a weekend 'Lock-in' and wanted the girls to learn about fitness and nutrition, how to incorporate good habits into daily life, etc.
We've got ideas for different kinds of exercises, healthy snacks, etc. I think our biggest dilema is we'll be working with girls aged 5 to 18. Any suggestions on how to get such a wide age range's attention and keep it?
Would getting some of the older girls to be our 'assistants' be a good idea? We're looking at around 30 girls.
I'm psyched to be given this opportunity, and I want it to be enjoyable and memorable for the girls. I don't want to lecture to them for 2+ hours.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
