Group size: 4
Process:
The rope is stretched out preferably in the outdoor area or in a large indoor space. The rainforest materials are laid out at intervals along the rope. The teacher first walks the whole group of children along the trail helping them to observe closely and identify the objects. Children then walk the trail individually or in pairs, memorising as many of the objects as they can. At the end of the trail they must report back to the teacher the names of all the objects they can remember. They receive a Rainforest Rope Trail sticker marked with that number.
Don't forget to include the following rainforest items:Chocolate, Rubber Glove, Piece of Wood, Leaves, Empty medicine containers.
