My Daisy troop just earned this petal. We talked about what it means to be responsible for what you say (being honest) and for what you do (if you say you'll do something, follow through; if you do something wrong, admit it). We also talked about how being ressponsible for what we say means that we need to know how the words that come out of our mouths can make people feel good or bad.

We read "the boy who cried wolf" as an example of someone who was not responsible for what he said or did. We also played a game where the girls drew out strips of paper on which I had printed nice and not nice phrases (Let's share, I like your shirt, those shoes are ugly, you're not my friend, etc.) Each girl read her paper (or the older ones helped the younger ones read) and then the group decided whether the phrase belonged on a poster with a big sunshine (nice words) or a cloudy, rainy poster (not nice words).
