Can you play outdoors for at least 30 minutes every day, for 12 days in a row?
Although it's tempting to stay indoors during the winter, getting outdoors to play, learn and explore is important for physical and mental health. It's also a great way to learn about nearby nature and your local ecosystems.
To help inspire our community to get outside over winter break, we've created the 12 Days of Outdoor Play Challenge.
How to participate:
-
Mark December 21 - Jan 1 on your calendar, and talk to your household about participating together.
-
Download the 12 Days of Outdoor Play chart to keep track of your progress. Print it off and put it on your fridge so you don't forget!
-
Follow Shoots with Roots on Facebook. We will share daily prompts for suggested activities every day from December 21 - January 1. If you don't use social media, you can download the full instructions.
