Tour the Yard, The World and Beyond
How:
Take a trip to Mars, visit the zoo, tour a museum or look in your own backyard. The links below will allow you to travel the world and beyond with a virtual passport. Take time to reflect on what you see, what you think, and wonder about. What did you learn that was new? What would you like to learn more about? Write about your tour and share it with someone else.
Explore what is right in front of you! Take a tour of your house and yard, see it with new eyes and a new perspective (a bug’s eye view or your dog maybe), look at it as if you were an explorer of a new land. Draw a map and create your own symbols for your map. These symbols are a mode of communication that can used to hide items for others to find.
