Slow down the walk. Give them a basket and 20 minutes. They'll find things you'd walk past.

  • Look up

  • A bird

  • An animal home (nest, burrow, hole)

  • A cloud moving fast

  • A tree taller than three kids stacked

  • Look down

  • A pinecone (or seed pod)

  • Animal tracks

  • A leaf with a bug hole in it

  • Water moving — stream, puddle, dew

  • Touch, smell, listen

  • Something that smells like outside

  • Bark that feels bumpy

  • A sound you can't see (bird, insect, wind)

  • Moss or lichen

  • Question round

  • Count the colors of green you can see

    There are more than 5. There are always more.

  • Find a bug without touching it

  • Guess how old the tallest tree is

  • Point to where the wind comes from

Leave everything better than you found it. The pocket rock is the exception.
