Take a bag with you as you and your family go on a fun hike. You can hike on trails, at a park, or even in your back yard. As you walk, pick up any fun treasures you might find like twigs, cool rocks, leaves, etc. At the end of your excursion dump out your spoil and have fun sorting and classifying what you found. Here are a few ideas of ways you can sort things to get you started:
- color
- shape
- size
- type
For added educational benefit, you can count all the items you found. You can also count how many things are blue, or how many things are round, etc.
