Kids have lots of fun indoor activities nowadays. Three parents and educators are here to share how they encourage children to spend more time outside and connect with nature.
Susie experienced educator | To get kids off screen, I advise parents disconnect too. My students have come to enjoy looking out for birds. They also find joy in using binoculars (双筒望远镜) for birdwatching. One of my students is now known as the local 12-year-old birdwatcher in the community. He's now a better birdwatcher than I am! |
outdoor club volunteer | During a fishing trip with 30 kids aged 10 to 16, I had to get creative to keep them active. So, I came up with an idea: whoever catches a fish gets a gift. Although no one caught a fish, the kids loved it. Next month, we're going to have a boat racing on a nearby river. The key is to create an interesting space and give kids a reason to join in. |
Linda English teacher | When teaching English as a second language, I planned an outdoor math lesson: how to find the size of a garden bed (园圃). But my students didn't want to do it because of the insects (昆虫) and the hot weather, I then suggested growing something they could eat to make them more interested in the garden. This experience changed my mindset (观念) from "I'm taking them outside" to "We're going outside together". |
