A walk around the neighbourhood
Read together
Let us go for a walk. I see a tree. I see a house.
There is a dog. Say hello!
Do it
- Go for a short walk near home, with a stroller, in a carrier or holding hands.
- Name what you see: tree, bus, shop, church, bird, flowers. Let your child point.
- Say hello to a neighbour.
- At home, talk about what you saw: “We saw a tree and a dog.”
Talk about it
- What did we see?
- Who did we greet?
For the grown-up
A short walk is a first geography lesson. It helps a child know their own place. Protect from sun and traffic, and hold hands near roads.
