Cookie concentration

Girl Scout Daisies enjoy learning about the cookie varieties as they play this cookie card matching game.

Materials

• Cookie concentration cards (one set for every three to four girls)
• Cookie flyer

For discussion

1. Talk with the girls and say, “We have great news: It’s time to get ready to sell Girl Scout cookies!”
2. What do you know about Girl Scout cookies?
3. Do you have a favorite Girl Scout cookie?
4. Share the cookie flyer with the girls and talk about the different cookie names and descriptions.

The cookie concentration game

1. Mix up the cards and place them face down in a grid pattern on the table or floor.
2. The first girl turns face up two cards of her choice.
3. If they match, she takes these two cards and takes another turn.
4. If they do not match, she turns them face down, without changing their position in the layout, and then it is the next player’s turn.
5. Play continues until all cards are gone.
6. The girl with the most pairs wins the game.
7. If you have a large group, you may wish to divide the girls into smaller groups to play. Simply photocopy the cards, or print extra sets.
