Why We Buy Project

More to Do

 

 Protected Under 18 U.S.C. 707

  • Enter your local 4-H public speaking contest and give a speech on what happiness means to you.
  • In your 4-H journal, make a list of five people who need your help. Write what you can do to help them. Do it!
  • In your 4-H journal, make a list of five people you really care about. Write about why you care for them. Now, go and tell all five of those people that you care about them and why.
  • Help a group do something good for your community. It might be your religious group or another organization from your neighborhood or county.
  • Help a fellow member of your 4-H club prepare a project for the 4-H District Round-up.
  • Spend an hour picking up trash in your neighborhood.
  • Bring the new kid at your school to a 4-H club meeting.
  • Begin keeping a record in your 4-H journal of how you spend your money. Use the following table as a guide.

As you record what you buy, think about why you buy the things that you do. Are you buying things that you think will make you happy or are you buying things to fit in, to have friends, or to be liked?
