Write the list before you leave and an ordinary trip to the park becomes an hour-long mission.

Ce qu’il vous faut

  • du papier
  • un stylo
  • a bag

Comment faire

  1. Write twelve things to find: a feather, something yellow, a stone shaped like an animal.
  2. Include two that are genuinely hard so it does not end too quickly.
  3. Give each child a copy and a bag.
  4. Set a boundary they must stay inside.
  5. Compare finds at the end and vote on the best single item.

La plupart des listes d'activités ignorent ce qui décide vraiment

Searching for a described object rather than a named one means holding a concept in mind and testing things against it. Including deliberately difficult items keeps older children engaged in what would otherwise be a very short activity.

Adapter selon l’âge

3 to 4 yearsSix picture clues instead of words, and stay together.
10 to 12 yearsPhotograph rather than collect, and add a time limit.

Sécurité

Set clear physical boundaries. No berries, no mushrooms, nothing from a bin. Wash hands afterwards.

Astuce rangement

Return natural items to the ground before leaving.
