到户外散步或者去当地的公园玩耍，能很好地帮助孩子进行学习！除了花时间在游乐场玩耍，还要注意探索：你有没有看到可以数数的树木，可以打招呼的邻居，或者可以观看的街道标牌？
以下是游戏式学习的一些点子，有助于你尽可能地利用全家在户外的时间。
在街区行走时，邀请你的孩子观看和辨别各类标牌，如停车和禁止停车。就此展开讨论。这有助于孩子理解书面语和标志有许多重要的用途：确保我们的安全，帮助我们合作，以及传播重要信息。尝试提示你的孩子带着问题思考，例如“你看到了什么标牌？不知道哪些线索能帮助我们弄清楚这些标牌是什么意义呢。” 和孩子一起辨别不同标牌上的颜色、字母和数字！
山丘能带来打滚、奔跑和探索等乐趣。你知道山丘还很适合学习科学概念和词汇吗？在公园里和你的孩子一起尝试：收集自然界中的各种物品（松果、鹅卵石、树枝），试试它们能不能顺着山丘滚下去。在你们尝试的过程中，运用更快、更慢、速度、重量、质量和坡度等词语。孩子还很喜欢把自己滚下山丘！
当你们在户外探索时，练习观察数字、字母和其他细节。通过以下言语和行为鼓励你的孩子：
有时候最神奇的地方就近在咫尺。类似findyourpark.com/your-parks这样的网站可帮助你识别附近的公园。即使是弹丸之地也能为你和你的家人带来惊喜！
