The game can easily be made using bits of nature from a walk around the neighborhood. Explore what sinks and floats. Put together a tub of water, then let kids determine what natural items float and sink. Investigate pond water. Go exploring and scoop up some pond water like Stir the Wonder did. Bring it home and see what the little scientists. Aug 20, 2019 Mandy's Room 2: Naughty By Nature Free Download PC Game Cracked in Direct Link and Torrent.

Most of us know that it's important for kids to spend time outdoors. Not only is it healthy for growing bodies and minds, but kids who spend time in nature have been shown to have a greater appreciation for the environment when they become adults. Here are some fun activities that can help kids get in touch with nature and help them learn more about the living things that inhabit it!
The games and activities are delightful to read, clearly explained, fun to do and adaptable to the urban or suburban environment. —Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. In the early 19070's as Joseph Cornell studied to be an outdoor educator, he discovered how play energizes and enlivens people's experience of nature.
1. Backyard bird feeder
- A great way to observe wildlife is to invite animals into your own backyard. One fun and easy way to make a bird feeder is to take a pine cone, dip it into peanut butter, and then cover it in bird seed. Attach a piece of sturdy string to the top and tie up the bird feeder in your yard to see what kinds of birds come to visit. You may also be surprised to see other wildlife, like squirrels, visiting your bird feeder, too.
2. Plant a garden
- Digging in the dirt can be fun. Teach kids a little bit about where food comes from by having them help plant vegetable seeds and watch them grow. When the plants are ready, have the kids harvest and eat some of what they helped to grow. Some great things for kids to try growing are string beans, peas, lettuce, or carrots.
3. Worm Compost Bin
- Most kids are fascinated with worms, so why not show them how worms help decompose vegetable scraps and other food into rich, fertile soil? Click HERE to learn how to create a worm compost bin. Once the compost is done, you can have kids help spread it out on the garden.
4. Soil Discovery
- Another fun way for kids to learn about soil is to dig up some dirt, place it in a tray, and look to see what you find. Common inhabitants of soil include earthworms, beetles, grubs, spiders, mites, millipedes, potato bugs, and centipedes. Teach kids that many of these creatures are important for making healthy soil. There may also be other interesting things that make up the soil, like roots, rocks, and fungi.
5. Set up a tent outdoors
- Whether you are camping in the forest or in your own backyard, kids often love helping to set up and play in a tent. Better yet, spend the night in the tent and have a campfire nearby (be sure to check regulations with your local fire department). Listen to the crickets, and look up at the sky.
6. Stargazing
- The night sky is a mysterious place that can be inspiring to kids as well as adults. On a clear, dark night with no moon, lay down some towels or set up some reclining chairs outside. Have kids find constellations like the Big Dipper and pick out the North Star.
7. Go for a hike or nature walk
- Many kids naturally love exploring, so take them out on a hike or walk outdoors. Be sure to point out anything interesting that you see along the way, such as birds, flowers, unusual rocks, squirrels, deer, pine cones, a sunset, or anything else that catches you or their attention. If it seems right, you may also want to consider giving the kids a nature journal to record what they see.
Trail walking — one of our favourite activities — can be enjoyed in any season and by virtually all ages and abilities. Most young kids love the freedom of running down paths, climbing on fallen logs, examining animal tracks, and everything else our Canadian trails have to offer.

But, every now and then, little ones need fun distractions to keep them going and it's handy to have a few games or activities ready to avoid any potential meltdowns (and of course, bringing along snacks and water can buy you extra time on the trails as well).
Inspired by Active for Life role model Karen Ung's homemade hiking game that makes nature walks with kids easy breezy, we've listed a few ideas to keep everyone moving forward and having fun.
Homemade hiking games
1. Giddy up
Nature Games 2 Unblocked
Thanks to Karen for this idea: she and her kids make hiking more fun by riding 'horsies' down the trails, making 'gates,' and using secret passwords to go through.
2. Follow the Leader
Hasp4 usb 1.33 driver xp download. This simple game is an adaptation of an Active For Life activity. Encourage your child to 'lead' you through the trail, over, around, and under obstacles, incorporating as many trees, shrubs, and rocks along the path as possible.
3. Nature scavenger hunt
Create a list of natural treasures and prepare each participant with a bucket and marker. Next step: Hunt! You can find a scavenger hunt template on our Pinterest page. For a fun twist on the scavenger theme try this nature ninja scavenger hunt where the hunt becomes focused on interacting with nature, rather than collecting it.
4. Geocaching
For a tech-savvy update on the nature scavenger hunt, try geocaching in a nearby outdoor space. You can find out if any 'caches' are in your neighbourhood trails by visiting geocaching.com.
5. I Spy
Walk and talk your way down the trail by testing each other's eyesight in nature. If you want to prolong the game throw out 'I spy something green' when it's your turn.
6. Hide-and-Go-Seek: Trail edition
As the 'seeker' stays back, the 'hiders' run a short distance ahead in search of a safe place out of sight. Be sure to predetermine acceptable boundaries (and don't forget to look up).

Something as simple as choosing the perfect hiking stick can give kids a sense of ownership over the trail. Bonus: leaving the sticks at the trailhead can teach little ones to pay it forward and continue the search on the next hike.

Keep these activities in your back pocket for when you sense a mid-hike meltdown coming on. If you have a trick of your own, we encourage you to share it with the AfL community. Happy trails!
