The Lakeshore Active Play Kit to explore the opportunities for outside learning. Playing outside at a young age will help them understand problem solving, self-exploration, decision making, number relationships, complex vocabulary, structures, healthy living, cause and effect, creativity, imaginative thinking, and their natural world by playing outside when they are older. Students have better comprehension of academic concepts when they are able to touch, feel, and do. Children want to see the leaves, do the experiments, touch the insects. Active, kinesthetic learning is not only more memorable, but has also help improve concentration and behavior. Outdoor learning naturally lends itself to group learning and teamwork. Teamwork encourages peer relationships and team problem-solving while students work towards a common goal. The type of teamwork and critical-thinking skills that are encouraged in a group setting are some of the most important skills that employers look for later in life. Why not start now?
