Outdoor Learning Activities for Children

Abstract

Outdoor experiential learning is cross-curricular learning and interdisciplinarity which connects learning experiences in a classroom with other sources outside. It offers an opportunity for students to understand concepts beyond the norms of the classroom such as from the community, natural environment, and other locations of topics being studied. Outdoor learning activities also promote students’ learning experiences and various essential skills including observation skills, thinking skills, problem-solving skills, communication, and collaboration. Besides, they inculcate the awareness of nature and environmental conservation.
