Noughts & Crosses
For 24 girls: Set up 4 rows of four chairs, or 4 benches with tape marking four places. Split the girls into two teams and number 1 to 12. Name teams 'Noughts' and 'Crosses'. Call out a number from 1 to 12. Both girls numbered that number need to race to a seat available in front of them. The girls play until one team has made a line. Continue for about 5 games until you have a winning team. The girls will soon work out that they can discuss strategy between them!

I purchased Beauty and The Beast, a royalty free script for my guides to perform. It took a term for them to learn script, design costumes and design and paint the set. We performed to around 180 audience and rasied a good amount of money for charity. Was a great experience!
