Teme: Turn Over a New Leaf

Changing habits from a brown leaf to a green leaf will help girls view habits they want to change and turn over a new leaf.

Invitation
Turn Over a New Leaf invitation will motivate girls to attend.

Activity 1—Turn Over a New Leaf Race
Activities help girls compete to find and share leaf cards and goals ideas for habit change.

Tell girls, “We are all winners the moment we decide to ‘turn over a new leaf’ and change a habit. It all starts with a winning attitude.”

Activity 2—”Leaf” an Old Habit Behind for a New One
Think about “HABIT TO CHANGE” (brown) leaf and the “NEW LEAF HABIT” (green) leaf side. Have them write a positive statement of how they will be if they change and leave the old habit behind.
