still exciting after all these years September 26, 2004 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This beautifully designed and illustrated book is a real classic. A brief and compelling outline of the author's philosophy is followed by a series of games that help young people (of all ages!) see, feel, hear and touch nature in new ways that sensitise, educate and excite.Despite its 'age' there are millions of young people who would find most of the games new and inspirational.
Natural learning August 8, 2004 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
As a student teacher i have found this book very helpful when trying to make my lessons 'different', motivating and fun learning. Some of the ideas are somewhat archaic, but carefully adapted, provide a great basis for curriculum lessons. I have also used them within Brownie group activities. They provide a natural and alternative approach to learning and developing skills. Reccomended.
Clasic guide to outdoor education games for children February 11, 1997 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Describes Cornell's philosophy of outdoor education andgives instructions for playing outdoor education games that work. This is an excellent guide for educators, camp counselors and scout leaders. Some games are designed to work in forested areas and are difficult to adapt to treeless areas.
