Classic Outdoor Activities That Promote Social-Emotional  and Problem Solving Skills

 

play in a tree - a perfectly fun way to play outside

Red Light Green Light.  Oh, I love this game, I love how it teaches self-control, I love its ability to burn off energy, and I love the giggles it creates too. You don’t need a huge space for this game, and it’s fun to play with the whole class or just your child at home.

Hide and Seek  Yes this teaches patience and forces children to listen and observe. Set the boundaries clearly before playing. Also, for many of you teachers, outdoor activities like this will not be permitted by most schools, so this is best at home!

Climb a Tree not many other outdoor activities can work on problem-solving the way climbing a tree can. Kids must plan out their route, and handle problems such as branches that are just not low enough. Just be sure that kids are safe and well supervised while tree climbing!

Listening Walks are no cost, low stress, outdoor activities for kids. They don’t just help children learn to listen and be mindful; they also help kids learn about their neighborhood. What are normal sounds, what are scary ones? These walks are wonderful, especially during busy and stressful times like at the start of a new school year.

    I love the outdoor activities suggested on this website. We currently have a brand new right out of school kindergarten teacher this year. When I came across this website, I thought of her and how many wonderful tips she could find within it.
    Thank-you for sharing.

    I have noticed you don’t monetize your website, don’t waste your traffic, you can earn additional cash every month because
    you’ve got hi quality content. If you want to know how to make
    extra $$$, search for: Ercannou’s essential tools best
