Full Description
This is an extensive collection of outdoor games (many based on traditional formats) that are active, sociable, and hopefully, fun. They' ve been designed to help increase youngsters' understanding and appreciation of the Northeastern Forest bioregion: its creatures and vital processes. Also included are correlations with the Next Generation Science Standards, a variety of supporting visuals, some simple creative dramatics for very young students, and many suggestions for ways that these activities and projects can be expanded. Additionally, there are sections highlighting the pedagogical and philosophical rationale for this kind of active arts and play-based learning.
