Transcript of Go on a nature scavenger hunt in your garden or ask an ... · the natural objects inside your box....
Go on a nature scavenger hunt in your garden or
ask an adult to take you on a short walk. Collect as
many interesting natural objects as you can, then
either...
● Create your own nature table or box - find a
space to display your natural objects and label
them to show what they are (see below).
● Or draw and label the natural objects you have
found to create a nature journal (see below).
You may need to do some research to find out what
you have collected!

can create and play with your nature collection!

To get started, decorate a cardboard box and cut a
hole in one side which you can fit your hand
through. Then place all of your natural items inside
the box (Note: if you do not have a box, you could
use a bag or a tray with a cloth over it).
It is important that you can’t see the objects inside
the box!
Create a fun game with the interesting natural objects you found on your walk.
There are 2 versions you can choose to play, or you can create your own game!
Version 1To begin, player 1 puts their hand inside the box
and picks up an object.
Player 1 then describes the object to the other
player/players. You could describe the shape, the
size and the texture to give the other players clues.
The player who guesses correctly wins that object,
and the player with the most objects at the end is
the winner!
Version 2For this version, you will need to create playing cards for all of
the natural objects inside your box. On each card, draw/sketch
the objects.
To start the game, all cards are placed facing down. Players take
it in turns to turn over a card, and then have 20 seconds to put
their hand in the box and find the object. If you find the object in
20 seconds, you keep the card and put the object back, ready for
the next player's turn.
The winner is the player with the most cards at the end of the
game!

Think about some rules you could introduce to make the game even trickier! Some possible
rules are:
- A set time limit for the person to describe the object (10-15 seconds)
- Adjectives to describe an object can only be used once in a game. For example, if Player
1 described a piece of bark as ‘rough’, Player 1 would not be allowed to use that
adjective again!
- Add in some man-made objects as well as natural objects! What could you add from
around your house?
