There are loads of great games you can play in nature. This one will put your memory skills to the test as well as provide a hands on way to interact with natural objects. It’s a fun way to change up the family walk and can be played inside or out  – all you need is a bag.

What you will need:

• An opaque bag
• An outdoor space to walk through

How to play:

1. Take a walk and gather items for your game – remember to only collect fallen materials.
2. At home wash the items, and wash your hands too.
3. Place the items into the bag and close the bag.
4. Take it in turns to feel an item in the bag. Without taking it out, describe what the item is like to the rest of the family.
5. Take a guess at what the item is – pull it out of the bag and see if you were right.
6. Play continues until all the items have been removed from the bag.
7. The winner is the person who had the most correct guesses!
