Fun Flashlight Walk for Kids
Children have always loved flashlights. There is something magical about A starry night with nothing but a flashlight to guide the way. The next time you take the kids camping or go on a nature walk in your local park at dusk grab some flashlights and try this fun game. Kids and adults alike will have a blast.
Give each participating person his own flashlight. Slowly walk along a trail or campsite. Have walkers look for cool stuff in nature by shining their flashlight on objects they pass such as rocks, spider webs, tree leaves, etc. Stay quiet and listen for cool sounds. Try to identify where the noises are coming from and what is making them.
Once you have walked for awhile stop for a break. Discuss what you see and how, even at night, the forest is still alive with animals, insects and nature. This game helps children focus on things they may not even notice during daylight. This teaches children to love the outdoors. It also helps children to become comfortable with the dark.
