Read together

Let us go for a walk. I see a tree. I see a house.

There is a dog. Say hello!

Do it

  1. Go for a short walk near home, with a stroller, in a carrier or holding hands.
  2. Name what you see: tree, bus, shop, church, bird, flowers. Let your child point.
  3. Say hello to a neighbour.
  4. At home, talk about what you saw: “We saw a tree and a dog.”

Talk about it

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.
