Found this today, play is learning !

When I play outside

• I take risks
• I face challenges
• I solve problems
• I make choices
• I belong
• I learn about my world
• I discover and explore
• I experiment
• I imagine
• I create
• I take responsibility
• I collaborate, communicate and co-operate
• I lead
• I can be noisy, messy and adventurous
• I am independent
• I am resilient
• My body is strong
• I learn about the natural world
• I invent
• I build
• I am calmer and less anxious
• I have a strong immune system
• I wonder
• I feel good about myself
• I can be wild
• I can be still
• I find out what my body can do
• I observe, I smell, I listen, I touch, I taste
• I focus and concentrate
• I feel connected to the natural world
• I watch things grow
• I explore mathematical and scientific concepts
• I solve conflicts
• I pretend
• I am motivated
• I am curious
• I am master of my universe
• I am healthy
• I make up stories
• I master physical skills
• I have fun

Outdoor Play is NOT a waste of time
