So that a picnic with your family does not become one of the many monotonous trips to nature with barbecue and volleyball, think over an entertainment program in advance and invite cheerful, initiative friends with children.
Instructions
Step 1
Arrange flora and fauna exploration in the area where you intend to have a picnic. Prepare printed materials in advance about plants and inhabitants of forests and fields in your region so that you can identify the flowers and animals you see. As you study, you can teach the children about the Red Book. Take a photo report to create memories of your research, and you can also develop your children’s photography skills.
Step 2
Think over your picnic menu. You can opt for traditional kebabs and vegetables, or cook something unusual. For example, fry chicken wings in honey sauce or smoke fish on a wire rack. The best of the recipes can be entered into the "Family Cookbook …", insert photos into the album. Involve children in the selection and preparation of meals, but observe safety measures.
Step 3
Play 11 Notes. The object of this game is to find a hidden message that tells you where to look for the next note. The last eleventh note tells you where the treasure or prize is for all participants in the game. Children like this entertainment very much. To avoid confusion when placing notes in secret corners, start with the latter. You can write messages on the spot when you figure out where to hide them.
Step 4
If you are outdoors with another family, you can arrange comic competitions, for example, "Merry Starts". Create challenges that all family members can do, even small children. Of course, the best team gets a prize. If the competition involves sprinting or jumping, for example, in sacks, make sure the ground is level and free of bumps and holes.
Step 5
Clean up the trash after your picnic by preparing bags. You can do this in the form of a competition, at the same time explain to the children why plastic, polyethylene and glass cannot be left in the forest. As a prize, present the winner with a homemade badge with the words "Guardian of Nature" or "Keeper of the Forest".
