This activity is meant to have kids interact with the creatures around them and copy movements and sounds.
Counting Birds
Count birds through your window. What shapes do you see? What colors?
Find Shapes in Animals
This activity has kids look for animals (or bugs) and find the shapes in their bodies. It requires them to be able to recognize simple shapes (ex., circle, square, triangle).
Make a Game of Charades
This activity will have kids make a game that involves recognizing and naming several animals of their choice, and playing it somewhat similarly to charades.
Make an Outdoor Map
This activity will help to create a map of an area near your home or any other place. This activity may be difficult for young kids, but you may adapt it by making the map simpler.
Observe Trees
Look at the trees right outside your window. How are they different? How are they the same?
