Give the children nature cards and have them partner up by matching their cards. For example, “If you both have a picture of a bluebird, stand up and hold hands.” During outdoor time, take a nature walk and encourage the children to look for the nature item that matches their picture. Provide binoculars and magnifying glasses. Bring a digital camera, and encourage the children to take pictures or to ask you to take pictures of nature items. Print the pictures and make a display of what the children saw, heard or touched.
