4-H Daily – Garden of Greatness

What makes you great? Today we are going to focus on the positive qualities we possess by creating a “Garden of Greatness.” Here’s how you do it:

  1. First, begin making your flower. Cut out a circle and write your name in the center.
  2. Cut out 5 (or more) “petals.” These petals are made from long rectangular strips of paper.
  3. On each petal, write one thing you are good at or one thing you like about yourself.
  4. Once all the petals are filled, fold them under, and tape them to the backside of your flower center.
  5. TAKE IT FURTHER!! Now that you know how to create a great flower, you need more for your garden! Do this activity for another person in your family. Once you are finished, hang them on a wall or refrigerator so everyone can see your “Garden of Greatness!”

Don’t have colored paper? No worries! Get resourceful and use what you have at home! Send us a picture of your garden in order for it to count towards your overall participation in the 4-H Daily contests. We’ll give you a shout-out on social media too so everyone can celebrate how great your garden is!
