Nature Walk

The weather is warming up. We love being outside. Being outside is more than just playing baseball or having BBQs.  With the warm weather we can get more exercise. Exercise is more fun when you do it with the family and friends.  It is a way to talk with your family and friends.  Also to enjoy the stars and see things you might not see in just your backyard.

A way to get your kids to go on a walk is to call it a Nature walk. On a nature walk, make it into a game. Take one of these sheets and see how many things you can find. Here are some printable nature walk sheets. Or you can make your own.

How to play this as a game.

Backyard

• Set a time limit
• See who has the most found pictures
• reward them with a prize (optional)

Walk

The same as the backyard. Other than the time limit is the length of the walk.
