There are great ways to explore the countryside. These children are exploring a forest. They’re looking for birds. Look! A bird’s nest! They are very quiet near the nest. They don’t want to frighten the bird or the chicks. They take photos of the birds they see.
Treasure hunts are a fantastic outdoor activity, too. You can do a treasure hunt in a town or in the countryside. Look, these children are doing a treasure hunt in a town.
They’ve got a clue. The clue says, find the bank next to the cake shop. What’s opposite the bank? There’s the bank. There’s a beautiful park opposite the bank. It’s less crowded than the street, but it’s also very big.
Where’s the next clue? Look! There it is! It’s on the big tree. This clue says, find the river behind the big tree. Find the old, brown bridge over the river So they have to find a historical bridge. Here’s a bridge but it’s more red than brown. They’re following the river to find the next bridge. It’s more relaxing here than in the town. Yes! They did it! There’s the old, brown bridge.
I think they’ve found the last clue. It says: "Cross the bridge over the river. Turn left. Turn right. Then look in front of you". Ah! It’s the treasure. A dinosaur!
Geocaching is a like a modern treasure hunt. You look at a website to find directions and a map. You follow the directions to find the treasure. You can use a GPS like these children … or you can use a smart phone. The treasure – ‘the cache’ – is in a box.
Ooh look, a spotty plastic ring. You have to write a message in the book and put it back in the box. But you have to put something else in the box, too … And then put it back so other people can find it. You can go geocaching all over the world. Try it!
