Take pictures of objects or places that children can find by looking at the image. Print the pictures and strategically hang them up so that the children can follow them as a circular trail throughout the entire area.
It might be a good idea to put the pictures in plastic sleeves so they stay nice over time. The activity can be carried out both indoors and outdoors – on the playground, in the forest, or other places. Only imagination sets limits for how long the trail can be.
This activity is particularly well suited for activity days and similar events, where children need to move from one station to the next by orienting themselves using the pictures.
