Outdoor space is an excellent environment to enhance and extend children's learning. Many children have a natural inclination toward being outdoors and use it as their preferred learning space. As adults supporting children's learning, it is important to encourage exploration of their outdoor environment and to deliver learning experiences in these spaces in the most engaging way possible. What you can (almost) always guarantee is children's enthusiasm to take their learning outside; what you cannot always guarantee is the weather!
In 50 Fantastic Ideas for Outdoor Learning All Year Round, Alistair has created 50 ideas to motivate children and educators to go outside and learn, regardless of the weather! All activities focus on a key skill that can then be adapted to children's interests or the specific outdoor environment of each setting. So, whether your outdoor space is a garden, a small yard, or a large playground, there will be activities that can be used and that will inspire young learners.
