Children enjoy pretending that they are finding their way through dense jungle where they encounter wild and dangerous animals. Use this theme to inspire outdoor activities that engage children's imagination and develop physical skills.
On an expedition
* Discuss the jungle's nature: the plants, weather and animals who inhabit it.
* Invite children to take part in an exciting role-play activity outdoors.
* Provide adult support to initiate interest and to reinforce the development of vocabulary that will enrich the play.
* Provide reference books about the jungle and encourage children to research the nature of the terrain, and the animals they could encounter in this dangerous territory.
