Nature Games

Appreciating the World Around Us

Kids love spending time outside so what better way to amuse them than with some nature games that also give them a love of gardening and observation of the life that exists around them.

A great way to improve your childrens' awareness is to spend time in the garden, simply observing the changing of the seasons and interacting with nature. Learning about the cycles of life for plants and animals will endlessly occupy children. Because there are so many different nature games we have divided them into three categories as follows:

Animals in Nature
Animal watching improves the powers of observation and makes kids aware of the activities of animals in their area. Children also love learning about the transformations of animals during their life-cycle. They will be amazed by the caterpillar becoming a beautiful butterfly and the egg turning into a tiny hatchling.

Plants, Gardening and the Environment
Kids love to help so if you are spending time in the garden there are endless ways to keep children occupied. They will love tasting any fruit or vegetables that you produce, and be amazed at seeing flowers become fruit and vegetables. We also have some special activities especially for kids, to see a plants growth right before their eyes.

Discovering Science and Environmental Activities
Other outdoors learning activities that take in nature- camping in your backyard, making bark rubbings and other fun activities that all promote a love of nature.
