Talk It Up!

1. Explain to the girls the importance of being able to talk to customers when selling cookies. Customers will want to know information, like the cost of cookies or why girls are selling them.

2. Split the girls into four groups. Give each group one of the following scenarios:

  • Girl Scout friends are selling cookies together. They arrive at a house and an elderly couple answers the door. They are interested in purchasing cookies but they don’t know the types available. The Girl Scouts describe the different types of cookies (Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles, Thank You Berry Munch, Dulce de Leche).
  • A troop of Girl Scouts are working at a cookie booth. A mother and daughter come to the booth and are interested in purchasing cookies. While they are deciding on which type to buy, they ask the Girl Scouts what they plan to do with the money they earn. The Girl Scouts share that they plan to use the money to attend Girl Scout camp and complete a Take Action project.
  • Two Girl Scouts want to ask their teacher at school if she would like to buy some Girl Scout cookies. They enter her classroom after school so they don’t disrupt her class. Their teacher buys a box of cookies from each girl. The girls thank their teacher for purchasing cookies.
  • A Girl Scout is out selling cookies door-to-door with her dad. She approaches a house and a woman answers the door. The Girl Scout explains that she is selling cookies and asks the woman if she would like to buy some. The woman says she already purchased cookies from her niece. The Girl Scout says, “Ok. Have a nice day!” and moves on to the next house.

3. Give each group a few minutes to practice role-playing their scenario.

4. Have each group perform their scenario for the group.

The Cookie Booth

1. Tell the girls what the cost of one box of Girl Scout cookies is. Check with your troop cookie manager or the council for the current rate.

2. Have girls set up their own pretend cookie booth using small boxes as pretend boxes of cookies.

3. Girls will take turns “purchasing” and “selling” boxes of cookies to each other, using the play money.

4. Have girls practice making change. Pretend a customer has a $5 bill and asks for one box. Then pretend a customer has a $10 bill and asks for two boxes or $20 bill for four boxes.
