The lovely people from Education are taking over The Curious Mummy to share some fun yet educational activities which you can do with your little one over the summer holidays. Today’s activity is creating an outdoor activity. Read on to find out more…
Picture This! An Outdoor Game
Sometimes we go through life without even noticing the things around us. But that’s not the way it’s supposed to be! This game will help your child
and visual identification while working in some exercise, too!
What You Need
- Pictures or photos of things found in your garden (for example, a tree, slide, swing, fence, bush, etc.)
- A box
Place the pictures in the box, and place the box in the center of your garden.
- Invite your child to stand several feet from the box.
- At your signal, your child runs to the box, takes out a picture, looks at it, drops it back in the box, and then runs to the object pictured.
- After touching the object, she runs back to her starting point.
This is a great way for your child to get some moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity, to identify objects, and to appreciate the outdoors!
