What do Rainbows do?

group of rainbows

Rainbows have fun! They take part in games and activities as part of their programme called the Rainbow Jigsaw.  Everything a Rainbow does helps her to develop and to think for herself, in a safe girl-only environment.

What to know?
  • Any girl aged five to seven can be a Rainbow. In Northern Ireland only, a girl may become a Rainbow at any time after her fourth birthday.
  • Rainbows make this simple Promise that they share with members around the world:
    I promise that I will do my best to love my God and to be kind and helpful.
  • Rainbows have a range of items they can wear. As all girls wear the same thing they feel as though they belong.  No girl is excluded because they do not have the right clothes.
What do Rainbows say?

‘We play games, we celebrate things, we write in our books, we play on the computer, we do painting…’ Fareeha, 6

‘We’re a little bit the same and a little bit different to other girls.  I think Rainbows learn more things. I think it’s easier than at school because there are no boys.’ Isha, 6

‘The best bit was the party for my Promise because we all ate chocolate cake!’ Louise, 5

Life of a Rainbow

From when a new Rainbow starts to when she leaves for Brownies.

Overnight events

Most Rainbows enjoy a ‘sleepover’. They give Rainbows a chance to get to know each other as well as grow in confidence and gain a sense of independence.

Programme

The Rainbows' programme is called the Rainbow Jigsaw to reflect how the varied Rainbow activities link to create a larger balanced picture.
