Implementing forest days

Forest Day is a day of non-traditional education, during which students of all ages go to the forest.

For example, a traditional school organizes a forest day. During it, students go to the forest with their teachers, study the forest vegetation, register, describe, count and measure it. All subjects are integrated, so each task is specific, meeting the needs, desires and personal skills of the students.

Interested in implementing a forest day? Start with the following tips:

find an interesting place in the area where it is allowed to organize.
create an accompanying team with at least one person who knows the area and can introduce it to students.
give students plenty of free time to play and choose their activities.
fire is the main point to gather.
offer students outdoor activities: team games, tree climbing, find a personal place to be alone.
listen to the sounds of nature, the identification and tracking of plants and animals, art craft from natural materials, cooking on fire, wood carving, etc. Just let them discover and play.
