The Great Flip in your American Heritage Girls Troop
In this blog, you can learn more about the AHG & The Great Flip relationship. You will learn how AHG troops are implementing The Great Flip into their troop experience. You will learn how girls are using The Great Flip for leadership opportunities, how the older girls, aka Pi/Pa’s are completing the self-defense requirement in the Emergency Preparedness Badge and earning the Martial Arts Sports Pin.
If you have more ideas, please share them with me and I’ll add them to this blog!
The Great Flip is online self defense and life skills for girls ages six and up and I am honored to be a national program alliance for American Heritage Girls.
If you are considering bringing self-defense training into your home and troop experience, let’s look first at safety. It is my goal to give girls confidence and courage while you create a safe experience.
- soft mats
- sanitizer wipes or spray
- comfortable clothes
- no shoes or socks when training on the mats
- no jewelry
- hair in a ponytail
- a training partner
- a teachable and willing attitude!
Earn the Martial Arts Sports Pin
When you purchase any of my online martial arts plans, you gain access to everything you need to earn the AHG Martial Arts Sports Pin! A PDF document from your AHG handbook about the Martial Arts Sports Pin, along with all the videos you need earn this pin.
Pi/Pa’s can earn the “self-defense” requirement in the Emergency Preparedness Badge with either plan.
Virtual Troop Meetings
Everyone can practice at home with The Great Flip!
Girl Leadership
The Great Flip offers a great opportunity for girl-led activities in your AHG Troop. Whether a girl or a parent leads the instructional videos, she MUST preview and practice the techniques before teaching anyone else.
“The girls really enjoyed the program. My daughter used it as her Community Outreach project to receive the Harriet Tubman award. She practiced with the videos every day for a over month, then led the girls along with the videos and helped them learn and practice the techniques. Thanks so much for such an awesome program. Everyone enjoyed it!” – Jennifer O’Brien, AHG Troop Leader
Special Event
The 12-video series can be completed during a 1.5-hour workshop format. Each video is approximately three minutes. Girls can practice the techniques for 5-10 minutes, then move on to the next technique.
Father/Daughter Event & Mother/Daughter Event
The Great Flip offers an empowering and interactive event for girls to do with mom or dad!
Unit Meeting
Tenderhearts through Patriots can learn self-defense skills during a Unit meeting. You can complete one technique per meeting or work on several techniques.
Pre and Post Meeting Fitness Stations
Give the girls something fun to do before or after Troop meetings. Learn one or two techniques per meeting! And this is a great place for girl leadership to shine!
