Nature-based physical activity: Fostering human-nature connectedness with young people in Kindergarten to Grade 12

Nature-based physical activity can offer an accessible and alternative teaching strategy to enable educators in K-12 schools to teach children and youth outside on a regular basis. Nature-based physical activity is defined as physical activities that are done in natural spaces, require little specialized equipment, can be participated in by most youth, are cost-efficient, have connection to nature as a focus, and can be implemented by teachers on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. This workshop will feature several hands-on activities that can help teachers foster human-nature connectedness for their students close to school grounds and in their local communities. Participants in the workshop will actively engage in the activities to help prepare them for introducing them to their own students.
