Instructions:
1. Print out the nature quiz. You need one copy of all the pages except for the Answer
Sheet, of which you need one for each participating child. The Answer Sheet is
where the children fill out their answers.
2. Pin/tape the questions along a nature trail, around the neighborhood, or even your
backyard. If you cover a large area, tie bright-colored ribbons on trees to mark the
trail – the kids will love following them to the next question!
3. Prepare a tiebreaker question at the end of the trail. This could be as simple as
placing a large number of beans or seeds in a glass jar and let the children guess
how many are in it. The question should be difficult enough that you’re unlikely to get
the same answer from any two children.
4. Go! Depending on your location, older children can walk by themselves but younger
ones may need help from an adult. Try to space them out a little bit, so they don’t all
hover over the same question at once.
5. Gather the Answer Sheets from the children and check them, using the Key. Tip: On
the Key, cut out the boxes with the right answers and place the Key over each
child’s Answer Sheet as you correct it, in order to speed up the process. The child
with the most correct answers wins. If two or more children have the same amount of
correct answers the tie breaker question will determine the winner.
6. Go through the correct answers with the children and announce the winner.
7. Optional: Give a prize to the winner.
