The Garden Classroom suggests after you play a game to sit down and talk about the different things that were found.
There are four pages of Outside Bingo in this set – 3 different board combinations and a set of happy, smiley face markers. We thought it would be fun to do a version of it and make some printables. This activity combines so many of our favorite things…games, outdoors, playful learning, and fun. “The idea for minibeast bingo encourages children to observe carefully and chart all the different inhabitants of their garden.” – Cathy James One of the book’s activities is called “Minibeast Bingo”: It has cute art and open spaces to write, draw and doodle all your garden learning. My favorite part is the section for journaling. The book is divided into 6 fun areas of “lessons”: She wrote The Garden Classroom to promote outdoor learning play! The Garden ClassroomĬathy James is the mother of 2 daughters and has been an online friend of ours for a long time! Her site, NurtureStore is jammed with fun things to do with kids. Today we are playing with one of the activities from the book and making a fun outdoor game. It is full of math, science, literacy and art hands-on outdoor activities.
