This popular activity is designed to engage groups in creative writing and poetry based on their experiences at an outdoor venue. It aims to make poetry accessible and fun, helping participants express their thoughts and feelings. We originally developed the kit to use on a visit to a farm, but it can be easily adapted to any kind of setting. Groups work together to create their very own poetry in this fun engaging activity.
The instructions for how to deliver the activity are here on our website, just such for nature poetry or head to our resources page.
This activity is designed to be carried out with all ages, but we have created a Widgit supported worksheet to be used in schools with those who need that support.
This activity was made by the Sensory Trust - we have lots of other free resources on our website.
This is a pack based around an activity called journey mapping. If you can get outside, in any space you have available to you, and collect some items that fit into different categories. Next up, you can use the worksheets included in this pack.
The YouTube video below shows you how to set up the activity and there is further information on a How-to PDF, also included.
Within this resource is:
a cover sheet explaining how the activities work, including a link to a YouTube video
a simple worksheet ordering the items you collected
a middle level worksheet with some questions
a creative worksheet encouraging story writing
a fantasy and adventure vocabulary sheet
