Related Episode: Knuck, Knuck Who's Where?

Subjects/Skills: Science; Problem Solving

Materials Needed:
Small sticks or stones to mark your path as you walk
Markers

Directions:
Ask your child to help you get ready for an adventure. Before you begin, ask her to prepare some path markers. She can do this by drawing on some small sticks or clean stones with markers, so that you can distinguish them from other sticks and stones along the way.

Go out on an adventure walk together. As you walk, leave markers along the path that you take. You might take a walk to collect some interesting nature items, or a walk just to listen to the sounds around you.

When you're ready to turn around, ask your child to lead the way back. Tell him that he should look for the path markers that will show which way you came from. If he has trouble finding the path home, together discuss ways that you can find your way back from your adventure walk.

When you've returned, put the path markers into a bag so that you can use them for your next adventure.
