Girl Scout Brownie(grades 2 - 3)
Look over the catalog of magazines you are selling. Every girl writes the name of a different magazine on three dog treats, like this.
Here’s your dog. Give her a name and, if you want, color her. Then tape or glue the picture of your dog onto an envelope.
Put all the treats in a box. Turn on some music and walk around the box with your dog envelope. When the music stops, each girl reaches into the box and takes out one dog treat. Do this three times.

Each girl takes the treats out of her envelope and on the blank side writes the name of someone she thinks would like to read that magazine.

These aren’t just dog treats—it’s your customer list! Put the treats back in the envelope and take them home so you won’t forget who you want to call, email, text, or visit. Thinking about other people you want to sell magazines to? List them here or fill out some more dog treats!

Dogs love to go out for walks! And eat treats. Take your own dog for a walk with your group!
