Enviro treasure hunt activity sheets+
Offered to:
pre-schools primary schools secondary schools students at homeOur environmental treasure hunt activities help families explore and understand the ecosystems they live or holiday in.
If you've visited the beach with the kids, you might have heard questions like ‘what is that?’, 'what does it eat?', 'where does it sleep?' and 'but why?!'
If you have a little naturalist bursting with curiosity, you can use these activity sheets to help them learn about different locations in Eurobodalla and what lives there. These sheets can guide you through a fun, natural adventure and help parents answer questions about the environment.
School teachers can also use these activity sheets to engage students to learn about and connect with the diverse coastal and marine environment that surrounds them.
