Ways to Help!

BBBS of Montana

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Great Falls

 

Changing how our children grow up in Great Falls.

It’s pretty simple.  By building a trusting friendship with a child you can make a powerful impact in his/her life. That’s what it’s all about.


Here are some thoughts on making a difference:


• Consistently sharing activities together (events, having lunch, just talking) is the biggest factor in forming a positive relationship with them.

• Deciding together what activities to do fosters a stronger relationship.

• By being there you are making a difference even if you don’t think you are. 

• If you’re concerned about not making a difference, talk it over with your Match Support specialist. 

 



Match Tips/Ideas

Regardless of your activity you are creating magical and unforgettabe moments in your Little's life!

1. Go to a circus or carnival.
2. Go bowling – you can buy one game and get one free at Olivette Lanes!
3. Draw, paint, work with clay, or make paper-mache animals or casts of each other. 
4. Play Charades, checkers, chess, backgammon, or any board or card game (you can even create your own).
5. Take a bike ride together (there are several trails in the area
).
6. Research your family trees together – the library and internet are great resources!
7. Attend your Little’s school play or sporting event to cheer him/her on!  
8. Fly a kite at the park – for an extra challenge, make your own kites!
9. Visit an area firehouse or police station.
10. Attend a BBBS Match Activity.
