The SA guides' website is at http://www.girlguides.za.org for general info, and they've got links to various units. Following one of them to Dalviera guides, they've got quite a few activities, including "SA crafts" - apparently wire work is very popular there, see http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/net02833/ Other activity ideas... - animal door hangers (templates of giraffes & other animals to hang over a bedroom door) - paper flowers (South Africa is famous for its indigenous plants including the king protea (protea cynaroides) - its national flower, & the bird of paradise flower) Example instructions at http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/activity/crafts/advanced/adv-pap.htm - bead pins (famous Zulu beadwork, see craft pages) - music/dance (Ladysmith Black Mambazo CD + ring dance - instructions from http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/TLresources/longterm/LessonPlans/africa/alibro/index.htm) - hertzog and spicy koekjes (cooking - see http://www.recipesource.com/ which is a brilliant source of international & other recipes) Other places to look: http://www.ZoomSchool.com/school/Africa |
