Teach Out Toolkit

Nature Play SA’s Teach Out Toolkit offers suggestions and resources to support with class management, setting up in the outdoors and working with ease and confidence to deliver curriculum in a dynamic outdoor environment.

The toolkit also features an Outdoor Learning Passport for students; this is their passport to outdoor learning and adventure! Students can take it with them as they explore the magic of the natural environment and enjoy lessons in the outdoors.

There are 10 lessons to complete, with pages to draw, take notes, record ideas and reflections. Each lesson is linked to bonus missions to complete at home or school.

Nature Play SA has created this resource to support teachers and students with a series of outdoor learning lessons and missions. We hope that you use the ideas presented as provocations and inspiration and adapt them to suit the age, stage and learning needs of the children in your care.
