Rainbows programme
Starting Rainbows
A new girl may receive a special Welcome Bag and Ready for
Rainbows, a book to help her understand what Rainbows is all
about. It contains lots of fun drawing and colouring activities,
and a story featuring a Rainbow called Olivia.
The Rainbow activity programme
The Rainbow Jigsaw has four areas:
Look Learn Laugh
Love
Look: We encourage girls to look around them
and learn about their own environment and community. We also help
them understand that they are part of a wider world, perhaps
through crafts or games from around the globe, or learning about
festivals from other cultures.
Learn: Rainbows learn by taking part in a wide
range of activities such as trying out crafts and recipes, playing
games and visiting local places of interest. A representative from
the RSPCA might come to a meeting to talk about looking after pets
or a police officer might come to explain to the girls about road
safety.
Laugh: Rainbows have lots of fun. Meetings
involve games, songs, parties, celebrations and making a mess!
Girls love sleepovers too!
Love: Through Rainbows, girls learn about
caring and sharing with family and friends, working together, fair
play, and being considerate and helpful to others.
Leaving Rainbows
Of course, at the end of a rainbow there's a pot of gold! So
when a girl is nearing the end of her time at Rainbows, she may
receive her My Pot of Gold book and find out how Olivia
prepares to move on to Brownies. A Leader then helps her plan a
special Pot of Gold party. Most Rainbows leave at the end of a
term, so parties are often shared by several Rainbows.
