Week 1 - Leadership Crafts - Girls Rugby L.E.A.D.E.R.S.

[Music]

he frames its coach Rachel and I'm so

excited to be leading our first craft

with online for every virtual program

earlier this week Erin talked all about

leadership which is x value of the week

so today's craft is going to be centered

around leadership we're gonna be making

a really full collage it's gonna

highlight your current leadership

abilities as well as the ones that maybe

we're still working on and still growing

let's get started with the materials

that we will need today so first thing

you will need is a blank sheet of paper

and this could be a blank sheet of paper

maybe the back of a grocery sack

whatever you have lying around because

we're gonna end up covering it with cool

collages you're also gonna need that

leadership worksheet that you did with

Erin because it might be helpful to

reference all of the qualities that a

good leadership have you're also going

to need some markers crayons colored

pencils whatever you like I like markers

because they are very perfect and then a

stack of old magazines newspapers

pamphlets whatever you have laying

around we're gonna really focus on

trying to use those recycling materials

and then you will also need some

scissors tape or a glue stick

and at some point possibly a sharpie if

you don't have magazines that you can

cut up that's totally okay find a stack

of construction paper or you could just

color the whole thing whatever works for

you be flexible and try and think

creatively

[Music]

so what we're gonna do today is make a

collage and it can be of whatever you

want it could be of a flower of an

animal of a tree whatever you like I'm

gonna make a sunflower because it's my

favorite

[Music]

[Music]

once you have all your materials

gathered what I want you to do is go

ahead and flip through the magazines and

find things of the right color so if I'm

making a sunflower I'm going to look for

things that are orange or yellow for the

puddles and green for the step if you've

decided you're gonna make a giraffe you

might look for yellows and browns just

take some time and think oh what could

that look like so for example I just

picked up this magazine

there's a big blank orange page on the

back oh and on the other side so I'm

going to go ahead and pull that one out

and I'm gonna use it so go ahead and

just flip through find some different

pages for what

[Music]

[Music]

so I have gone through all my magazines

and found some different pages that are

orange and a little bit of greens my son

things like that so now I'm going to

start cutting them up in assembling them

so I'm going to start with the center of

my sunflowers so what I'm gonna do is

just cut out a piece of this orange or

as this paper bag cuz I didn't really

find any brown paper but this works just

as well

and to make a good circle just the trick

is if you fold it in half and fold it in

half again and then you can just make a

little quarter circle at the center of a

subpar

so it's a little bit I'm gonna make a

little smaller okay

so once I have that I'm gonna put it in

the center and then I'm gonna start

cutting my petals so I'm just going to

take the pages that I have and cut I

don't know what shape that is but a

little petal shape I'm going to cut a

handful of those are all my different

things

[Music]

[Music]

okay I'm gonna see where I'm at see if I

have enough all the way around my son my

paper circle that I had no I'm gonna

have a nothing that needs better

that's good okay so once you have all

the pieces you need we go ahead and

either glue them down or tape them down

I mean use tape for today just because I

have it and it's quick but Elmer's glue

or a glue stick works just as well so

what we're going to do once this is all

assembled is we are going to take those

leadership qualities that we want to

highlight about ourselves and we're

going to put them on each

[Music]

[Music]

so this is what I have so far this is my

flower so I could add a thumb if I want

to so for that I would just take one of

those green pieces that I have

we cut a nice straight line like that

and tuck it in the volume of nice

flowers

and if I wanted to make some leave sport

its kind of the same shape that you just

did with your sunflower

okay so at this point if you wanted you

could take your markers or your crayons

and draw on a cool background whatever

you want just to really make it yours if

so go ahead and take that leadership

worksheet you have and I want you to

look at but all that needs that make a

good leader so I put down mutation

creative encouraging supportive over

minded whatever qualities you put we're

gonna then write those on the petals if

you made a giraffe you could put it on

the spots if you made a tiger you could

put it on the stripes whatever you may

think of how could you incorporate the

different leadership qualities that you

think you have and highlight those on

your piece of art so I'm gonna take a

sharpie if you're using a magazine

Sharpie really works best washable

markers kind of come off of it and just

go ahead and write them on there as

you're flipping through the magazines if

you see words in the magazine that look

like the leadership skills like

friendship or kind nice you could cut

those out and glue those right onto your

petals

[Music]

[Music]

awesome now the other thing I'm gonna do

is I'm gonna write on the bottom of mine

so where my system is something that I'm

still working on so I want to highlight

it because it's a goal I have it I want

to keep it in mind as I work on

different things so I'm going to write

organize it that's definitely something

I'm working in and to get better at okay

so once you have that you can go ahead

and take whatever marker you want and

we're gonna write right in the middle

your name somewhere because this is

after all your leadership skills

when you can just hide a little bit here

in there whatever you'd like you want to

add a sunshine whatever it kind of makes

you happy

I want this to be something that you're

really proud of I'm gonna hang mine on

my fridge

because I want to be able to highlight

it not only to myself but maybe to my

family or my friends to come over maybe

I'll put it on the Instagram whatever

you want

[Music]

[Music]

I look forward to seeing you guys all

around our word of the week I'll see you
