What are the most memorable moments of your childhood with your friends?
Playing with autumn leaves or chasing ants? Watching a butterfly coming out of its cocoon or listening to your voice echoing in the woods.
Well, I remember chasing ants and also a bug bite on my hand that was swelled for days. 🙂
Strangely, when you google about environment games, you find many links of video games 🙂 Isn’t it amusing? Shouldn’t environment games be outdoor games?
How do you connect your kids with nature when you are outdoors. Few quick activities to do:
- Insect Search : As kids, we used to place small bowls / glass jars on an insect just to see how it reacts.
- When in woods, look for different types of ants, insects and observe them eating leaves.
- Make Seed bombs, Terrariums, identify caterpillars, follow butterflies.
- Bring out that Tarzen in you , climb trees, sit on branches, identify fruits, flowers and buds
- Gardening with your kids it equally calming and fun.
