Here are some great ideas for roleplaying different sales situations with your girls. You could print up the different ideas on slips of paper and put them in a hat, and they can draw out the different skits to perform.

If you have others to share, e-mail me and I'll post them for everyone. Enjoy!

You have a customer who can't eat the cookies because of dietary restrictions. You talk them into buying a box for your troop to donate to Gift of Caring (or whatever group your troop chooses).
(Needs two people: One plays the customer, one plays the Girl Scout.)

No one is buying cookies from you, but everyone is buying cookies from another girl, even the people who told you they didn't want cookies. What do you do?

A customer says he's a vegetarian and wants to know what type of cookies he can eat. What do you do?

You're delivering 7 boxes of cookies to your neighbor. She gives you a $50 bill.

Your customer isn't sure she needs any cookies. What is the best way to get people to buy cookies?
(Needs two people: One plays the Girl Scout, one plays the customer.)
