Our next April meeting was spent learning about Zentangles and creating Girl Guide Zentangle Art! The grandmother of one of our Guides teaches Zentangle to classes and came to teach the Guides. As the girls arrived they completed their physical activity logs for the week. We then had our usual opening and an active game.
The girls then settled down at the tables to create their own Zentangle works of art. Each was as unique as the girl creating it. I would recommend this activity to any unit. Our girls are usually very active and they sat and worked on their Zentangles for at least an hour without getting restless.
