Responsible for What I Say and Do -Orange Petal

At this meeting we played charades acting out clues for what things we were responsible for.  Those included making your bed, backpack, doing dishes, washing your hands, buckling your seatbelt.  

Then for responsible for what we say, we talked about hurtful words and how it makes us feel when people say those words or when we say them to others. We talked about how we should say sorry when we say hurtful words and how that helps but that you can't take those words back.  Then each Daisy got a piece of paper with a heart on it.  In the middle of the heart was written:  

Before you speak, 
Think and be smart.  
It's hard to fix a wrinkled heart.

We talked about how it feels when people say hurtful words and what we do if we say hurtful words.  Then we crumpled up the heart which the girls didn't want to do and then we opened it back up to show that you can try to smooth out hurt feelings by saying sorry but that the hurtful words still leave a mark.
