Creating outdoor learning activities for your pupils
When considering a new lesson plan or methods of teaching your pupils, many of the schools we have worked with wished to move things to their outdoor area to engage their pupils. Outdoor learning activities are extremely popular, helping children to learn away from the classroom and develop new ways of understanding information.
Inactivity rates are on the rise with more children preferring electronic gadgets over physical activities. We design fun, engaging school playground markings that keep children physically engaged and motivated to play outside.
However, finding the best methods of engaging your pupils can be difficult. To help you create outdoor learning opportunities we have rounded up some of our tips below.
Learning outside tips for teachers
Get creative with resources and equipment
Involving different resources and equipment during outdoor learning activities will help teaching staff to keep the attention and engagement of pupils. Teaching various subjects is achievable however it is key to have a range of resources and equipment at your disposal.
Involve games and exercise
Using creativity to help pupils learn whilst engaging in games, improves social skills with their peers. Games and exercise will help pupils to absorb information and lessons in a less formal setting and therefore reaching pupils who may prefer alternative methods of learning outside the classroom.
Install educational playground markings
By installing educational markings, these can be utilised as part of lesson plans and ideas for pupils of all ages. We have a huge range of school playground markings which cover topics such as maths, geography, history and science. Our team also create all of our thermoplastic markings from scratch, so if you have specific needs in mind simply reach out to our team to discuss your ideas.
