Connecting with Earth: A Nature Walk
Get some fresh air by taking a walk around campus or in the nearby park or
groves.

Encourage students to concentrate to all five of their senses as they walk.

Close their eyes and ask them what they hear and smell. What does it feel
like to touch the grass—how does it smell? Allow them to drink from the
fountains so they can get a sense of how it tastes.

Repeat the walk as many times as possible. Pay attention to how your
senses pick up on subtle shifts in the environment.

Bring the students back into the classroom to talk about what they learned
from using their five senses. Fill out the attached questions to sum up the
experience, then ask:

1. In what ways does the Earth feel?

2 ,Then, take a deep breath and notice what you can detect in the air.

3. If you look around, are the surroundings clean? Are we upholding our
responsibilities as earth stewards?

4. Is the water you drank clean? If this is not the case, what do you think
the issue is?

5. What sounds do you hear when you took the walk?
