10 Free Outdoor Activities for when the Walls Close in

Are the walls closing in, even just a little, as you observe social distancing mandates?  Our family has been embracing every possible idea for motivating the kids to get to open skies.  If you’re looking for free outdoor activities for your family during this time, you’re in the right place.  I’ve been compiling ways to get outside as a family, and we’re having a great time!  This includes the following:

Wildlife Scavenger Hunts

A Variety of Easter Egg Activities

Obstacle Courses

Tally Charts for Miles Traveled

Photo Scavenger Hunts

Treasure Hunts with buried treasures

Frog-egg collections

And much more!

I put together a new resource to share these ideas with you.  Hours of Outdoor Fun includes 20 practical ways to get your family outside today.  These free outdoor activities include printables for the scavenger hunts listed above, step-by-step instructions, and much more!  This is a free gift from our family to yours!  Click here for your free download.

Be blessed as you head to open skies together!

Getting outside is a great way to relieve stress: to breathe deeply, love deeply, and laugh deeply. Enjoy this free download of motivational ways to get your family outside. #outdoorfun Click To Tweet

 

 

I’m passionate about equipping others to encounter God in powerful and life-changing ways. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me hiking, jogging, exploring wild places with my three young children and husband, leading small groups, and mentoring younger women. A certified special education teacher, I am on leave from the classroom for a season of chasing frogs and playing in creeks with my little ones. Most of all, the compassionate love of Jesus has forever ravished my heart, and I'm emphatic about making his love known to the world.
