Grassy Spaces

Urban Puddle Jumpers

The playing field at our school has a line of trees that divides it into the upper and lower field. The next step I take in our outdoor nature experiences takes place at the upper field and among the trees. We are lucky to have a small rolling hill and patches of dirt where the trees are growing. If you have a playing field on your school property, find a space you can use where you can see all of your students. Perhaps there is a fence line where they could look for insects or explore the plant life. I try to give the students more freedom during these activities as they continue to develop their listening skills outdoors. Each picture takes you to a mini-unit or a selection of activities you can try during outdoor exploration time. Some of the activities have the Curricular links from the BC Curriculum included. Please adapt these activities to fit your students’ needs. Have fun in the grassy spaces!
