Body Image and Self-esteem Activities for Guides

Image Gap
This activity guide encourages Guides to become aware of their own self-esteem and self-image "problems" and to apply a problem-solving approach to examples of negative self-image.

Gender Stereotypes and Body Image
Using this activity guide, Guides will examine the media's role in perpetuating stereotypes and how living up to stereotypes can lead to abuse and violence against ourselves and others. (For Discovering level Guides)

Prejudice and Body Image
This activity guide examines the media's role in dictating standards of attractiveness to society. Use the Story Starter handout in the guide to create a story about an alien world where being large is considered beautiful. Have the girls act out the story as a skit.

Mirror Image
Guides are encouraged to reflect on how they feel about their bodies and to address media pressures to be thin and the issue of smoking as a form of weight control. (For Discovering level Guides)
