Run Wild!: Outdoor Games and Adventures Kindle Edition

by Jo Schofield (Author), Fiona Danks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 21 ratings
Replace screen time with fresh air fun. “Here’s a book that will bring the ‘great’ back into the great outdoors.” —Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse

Following the success of Nature’s Playground, Go Wild!, and Make it Wild!, in their latest book, Run Wild!, Jo Schofield and Fiona Danks focus on inspiring children of all ages.

“[Run Wild!] introduces a cornucopia of ideas for outdoor activities, along with mesmerizing color photos of children and teens creatively enjoying themselves in fields, woods, and backyards, and at rivers and beaches. The text and safety tips are aimed at parents and counselors organizing activities in the wild, but the high-quality color photos will draw a younger audience as well . . . From skimming stones to making leaf masks to whittling walking sticks to following treasure trails, here’s an enticing array of ideas for outdoor fun and wilderness discovery.” —Booklist

    Fiona and Jo believe that reconnecting everyone with nature is vital if we are to understand our reliance on a healthy and biodiverse natural world, and ensure it is protected for the future. They believe that all children and families should regularly spend time outdoors in green spaces where nature can weave its magic upon them.

    Together they have written and photographed twelve Going Wild outdoor activity books over the last eighteen years. Their latest book "Make This Book Wild" has been shortlisted as "Children's Book of the year, illustrated" in The Week Junior Book Awards.

    Through their books and website, they inspire families everywhere to get outside and become immersed in the natural world. They have run events, lead training courses for teachers and environmental educators, presented at conferences as keynote speakers, and written articles.

    They both live near the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire, where they enjoy natural history, walking and exploring the local countryside.

    As an environmental educator who focuses on outdoor skills of survival, archery, naturalist studies an scouting, I can't recommend this book enough! Plenty of detailed projects and adventure ideas to fill your school curriculum and time together as a family in nature. Five stars!

    This is the second Danks book we have bought. Can really recommend these. Great parental inspiration, but also totally child accessible. My daughter has got us into pewter casting at the beach.
    If you a proactive parent who does lots of activities with their children this is for you. You don't have to be naturally creative to achieve results with the things here, they are plainly and well described.

    This book reminded me of activities I had done as a child and used in the past with young people. For my new assistants it has opened their eyes to using the outdoors more.
