Forest School Activities Part 1 Of 5
About This Primary Resource
This is part of a collection of 5 documents available on Early Learning HQ featuring activity ideas relating to the Forest School approach. These documents have been produced as a practical resource with ideas and activities that promote a healthy disposition to learning outside. They have been written with the intention of supporting primary schools in a variety of circumstances, from those with limited outdoor facilities to those with woodlands on their doorstep. The multi-sensory nature of these activities are intended to support all areas of learning all year round.
They were created by Clare Beynon, Lynnette Erasmus, Coral John and Elizabeth Rowden.

1. Circles of String
2. Memory Game
3. What Am I?

5. We’ve Lost our Pencils

10. Texture Hunt
11. Leaf Baskets
