In this video, I’m sharing simple outdoor learning ideas you can run with minimal prep—and I’m pairing them with free printables so you’re not reinventing the wheel. If you teach primary/elementary (or you’re homeschooling), outdoor learning is one of the easiest ways to boost engagement, get better talk, and make science, maths, and literacy feel real. The goal isn’t a “perfect” outdoor lesson—it’s getting learners observing, questioning, recording, and explaining what they notice. I also point you to two places I use for ready-to-go resources: the free resource library at ltl.org.uk and the educator resources at plantheroes.org. Between them, you can grab activities that work for nature journaling, scavenger hunts, seasonal investigations, and simple plant-focused learning that links nicely to curriculum outcomes. My takeaway: start small, use a printable to structure the task (especially for behaviour and pacing), and repeat the same routine across the year so learners get faster and more independent each time you teach outside.
