Explorations in Ecology for Children and Their Adults: Transformative Adventures for All of Us
We play this! but we call it 'you're only safe if....' and then we give a countdown and try to tag people who aren't safe.
Then we adapt it in/out depending on the group's knowledge so it came to be anything like:
- a bumpy tree
- a tree that makes something edible
- a conifer
- a tree with rope on it.
- a holly tree
- a coppiced tree
And we change what you have to do with the tree:
-touching
- put your forehead on a...
- put your butt on a...
- dance around a....
- whisper to a....
- hug a...
- make a funny face towards a...
- holding a X leaf..
- pointing at an animal home..
The list goes on!
Wonderful article! I learned a lot. I'm hoping to adapt it to adults.
Looking forward to meeting you someday.
Cheers!
I'd be happy to take you and some friends on a woods wander up here in the forest!
Hey Margaret, let me know how it works with adults. I think all it really needs is slowing it down a bit and some adults who still like to play! I'd love to play.
