NWF Goes Wild
National Wildlife Federation has teamed up with the movie Where The Wild Things Are, in theaters October 16, to launch the Be Out There campaign to get kids and families outside. Download free activity guides for parents, kids, and educators and discover the wild thing within you.
Ways To "Be Out There"—Even during classroom season homework, soccer practice, ballet—is there time in the schedule to play outside?
• No backyard? Spot local wildlife and find your closest parks.
• Have your child make a map of your neighborhood — using only natural landmarks. This will heighten his or her observation skills and can be the first step in creating a "field guide" to the nature in your neighborhood.
• For older kids, combine technology with the outdoors and go geo-caching or, the lower-tech version, letterboxing. There are about 20,000 letterboxes and 250,000 geocaches hidden in North America.
