Many families are making daily walks as part of their family routine.  Walks are great way for families to connect with nature and get some physical activities.

While walking is fun by itself, it might be fun to add some activities to daily walks.

  1. Play a game of I-Spy and look for particular objects on walks. Encourage children to look for certain colours, alphabets or numbers that they can find during walks.  See who can spot the most squirrels, raccoons or butterfly while on walks.
  2. Encourage children to do some bird watching or listening to the beautiful music birds made. Learn about the types of birds that are in our neighbourhood and the characteristics of the birds.
  3. Go for scavenger hunt and find some nature materials available on our walks. From flowers to pine cones, sticks and stones, there are many beautiful materials to collect while on walks.
  4. Encourage children to use camera to take toy or actual camera, binocular or magnifying glass for walks, so children can take photos or use their magnifying glasses to closely examine the nature while on walks.
  5. Incorporate different moves during walks, such as interval skipping, hopping, running. Encourage children to come up with different moves they can do while going on walks.
