Starting kindergarten is a big step, and you want your daughter to feel as comfortable and confident as possible from day one! Let Girl Scouts stand with you to support and inspire her as she makes new friends, meets new teachers, and tests out new ideas.
At the event, girls will play a Show and Tell game to get to know each other, get active, practice following instructions, and practice social skills. They will make dream boards to explore their emotions, set goals, and learn how being persistent can help them achieve their dreams. They will also play Animal Charades to practice their approach to learning through using creativity and imagination, as well as to show interest and ask questions about observations.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois
Girl Scouts work together to build a better world! Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
