The Value of Outdoor Play
It's more than just playtime


Children learn through play, and the outdoors provides a context for a number of learning content areas including:

• The Natural Elements - experiencing wind, dirt, water, weather, seasons.

• Physics - using a see-saw, merry-go-round, swings, or slides; throwing, batting, flying.

• Architecture and Design - building with natural materials.

• Math and Numbers - counting, keeping score.

• Language Development - explaining, describing, articulating, seeking information, and making use of oral language, vocabulary, and word power.
