Hello Gylemuir David Attenbear here,

I have been busy thinking of activities you can do outside in your garden or on a walk. I hope you enjoy doing some of

these activities, they are for all ages. I would love to hear/see what activities you have tried out.

Make a rainbow with chalk!

Can you make lots of different shapes

with resources that you find outside?

Try using sticks, stones, leaves and

lots more!

Go on a bug hunt! Which

creepy crawlies can you find?

Work out the best material

to make a shelter from, by

making mini shelters for a

bug and testing them out!

Go on a rainbow hunt with

an adult. How many

rainbows can you see on

people’s windows?

Do your maths work outdoors. Use

materials such as stones to help you

when completing sums. Or use chalk

and write them down on the ground!

Can you find a selection of

stones and put them in order

from biggest to smallest?

Now try ordering them from

smallest to biggest!

Can you try to balance

objects whilst walking?

Just make sure the objects

you choose are not

breakable!

Find as many objects as

you can in your garden

that have at least 1 line of

symmetry!

Go on a senses walk with an adult.

Write down something that you can

hear, smell and see!

• I can hear the birds singing.

• I can smell the lovely spring

flowers.

• I can see some huge oak

trees!

Here’s a workout to try

outdoors to keep you active!

Make a stick person! Give

him/her a name, what is

his/her personality like? If

you have string, this is

great for hair! Can you

make a few and make up a

little story with them?

Guide someone around the

garden using compass points

and angled turns!

eg. Face

North, turn

90⁰ to your

left walk forward 5 steps.

Draw a map with these instructions to guide

someone to the

treasure!

Make fact files on a

plant/tree/insect in your garden-

take a picture and research it!

Make 2D shapes or 3D shapes

using twigs – describe their

properties to someone else.

Challenge!

Have fun, stay safe and keep washing your hands!

Re-design your garden – draw

it and include measurements!
