HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO ALL YEAR
Follow these easy steps to create your exhibit!
- Choose a topic. "I want to learn about ..." or "I want to learn how to … ."
- Gather and evaluate information. "I can get information on this topic from… ."
- Determine your exhibit. What will you do? What skill will you learn?

- Exhibit your work.
OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE:
Your Cloverbud may already have a topic in mind to study. Before they make any final decisions, you may want to help them think about all the possibilities. Make an inventory of their interests, needs, dreams and concerns. Include everything that “could be” an exhibit. From this list, they can identify which topics to choose. Their choice of exhibit work probably is based upon an interest, need, dream or concern. These definitions will help clarify what each term means.
Interest
Something that excites your feelings and gains your curiosity. It makes you to say, “Oh, I want to do that!”
Need
Something you, your family or community seem to need. You say, “Yes, I can see doing that is necessary.”
Dream
Something that causes you to think, “I really want to try to accomplish that.”
Concern
Something that affects the welfare or happiness of your family, club, community or world. A concern means, “I really care about that, and I can do something about it.”
