Use your drawing skills to keep a record of what you see when you’re out on a walk.

Resources

Pens or pencils
Clipboards
Compass
Paper with six large boxes drawn on

Instructions

The person leading the activity should explain that the group will be going to walk around the local area to discover different animals, plants and local landmarks. Everyone will stop at six different places and draw something they can see.

In small groups, everyone should look at a compass. Everyone should talk about the directions and how they can help you find your way.

When everyone is ready, head out on your walk. While walking, give everyone the opportunity to use or look at the compass to help understand which direction you need to go in.

At different locations on the walk, everyone should stop and spend a few minutes drawing something. You can plan these stops in advance or choose them while you are out.
Everyone should make sure they have filled in each box on the piece of paper.

Once the group is back from the walk, everyone should talk about their drawings and what they remember seeing. Think about what the colours were like, what something might have smelled like, where on the walk they saw it, and if they remember what else was around the object they drew
