Nature Treasure Bag
One bag, one walk, ten things to find.
اللعب في الهواء الطلق يمنح طفلاً عمره 6 سنوات أكثر مما يمنحه أي بديل داخلي: حركة أكثر، ومدخلات حسية أكثر، ومساحة للصوت العالي. أطفال السادسة يقرؤون تعليمات بسيطة ويواصلون مشروعاً على مدى فترة بعد الظهر.
تحتاج هذه الأفكار حديقة أو حديقة عامة أو شارعاً هادئاً، لا أكثر. ويوضح كل نشاط مدة واقعية وما إذا كان على شخص بالغ المشاركة.
