Outdoor Education

Within Outdoor Education: Hands-on Nature Activities, Games, and Techniques for Grades 3 through 6, you’ll find over 90 activities that show teachers, scout leaders, camp counselors, and anyone else who works with groups of kids in the outdoors how to engage their students in and with nature. Activities show you how to grab a group’s attention with props and games. Sensory activities connect students to ways of exploring nature and noticing details they can’t learn through reading books and watching documentaries. Chapters on animals, insects and arthropods, and birds provide games that help you teach and review characteristics and behaviors of wild creatures. Outdoor Education: Hands-on Nature Activities, Games, and Techniques for Grades 3 to 6 focuses on activities as opposed to background information. The games and guided explorations complement your lessons and curriculum units. Scout leaders, camp counselors, and environmental educators can work these games into field trips, presentations, and guided nature walks. Additional chapters include word games, games that review the facts that you’ve taught in fun ways, and activities for extending outdoor experiences indoors and reflecting on time outdoors.
