Geocachingįor a tech-savvy update on the nature scavenger hunt, try geocaching in a nearby outdoor space. For a fun twist on the scavenger theme try this nature ninja scavenger hunt where the hunt becomes focused on interacting with nature, rather than collecting it. Next step: Hunt! You can find a scavenger hunt template on our Pinterest page. Nature scavenger huntĬreate a list of natural treasures and prepare each participant with a bucket and marker. Encourage your child to “lead” you through the trail, over, around, and under obstacles, incorporating as many trees, shrubs, and rocks along the path as possible. This simple game is an adaptation of an Active For Life activity.

Thanks to Karen for this idea: she and her kids make hiking more fun by riding “horsies” down the trails, making “gates,” and using secret passwords to go through. Inspired by Active for Life role model Karen Ung’s homemade hiking game that makes nature walks with kids easy breezy, we’ve listed a few ideas to keep everyone moving forward and having fun. Most young kids love the freedom of running down paths, climbing on fallen logs, examining animal tracks, and everything else our Canadian trails have to offer.īut, every now and then, little ones need fun distractions to keep them going and it’s handy to have a few games or activities ready to avoid any potential meltdowns (and of course, bringing along snacks and water can buy you extra time on the trails as well). Trail walking - one of our favourite activities - can be enjoyed in any season and by virtually all ages and abilities.
