Gather as many props and outfits as possible, everything from toy horses to lasso ropes, from fringed jackets to colorful bandannas. The thrift store is one resource for inexpensive costumes and toys. Be creative: use dried grass from the backyard as hay for horses, and use plastic dishware from the kitchen for cowgirl campfire cookware.
2). Think up a plotline, such as an emergency horse rescue mission that is underway, or a federation of cowgirls that need to fight a local bully.
3). Look up cowgirl facts. Find Internet resources about life in the days of the old West and a biography of historical cowgirls.
4). Using the props and the plotline, let the adventures begin. While the girls are playing, a parent can set up other games in a cowgirl context to be played along the adventure. For example, pin the tail on the bronco or musical rodeo chairs.
