Urban Adventure

First of all, you need to pick a location either in the city or outside the city, but it has to be a location with various urban architectural pieces available for study. Once you picked the location, you must choose some of these pieces (they can also be objects, like a bench, a statue, even a fence or something you can find on the playground usually, like a slide) and try to stick to more than three (this is a good training for the memory also).

You need to take with you something that helps you measure (measuring tape) and something that helps you draw the shapes of the objects you find there. It can be just colored chalk and you can use the sidewalk or any available surface. Remember getting creative is good!

After you chose the objects you want to study with your group, you need to measure them properly (ask the children to help you, of course) and then establish what shape do they have (more like a circle or a triangle, a square or maybe a cube). Children will learn basic concepts about how objects are built and also how they relate to the environment.

If you are in the park or at the playground, make sure to engage more children, as this Adventure is more fun with many participants. Ask them to make teams and measure correctly their chosen objects. 

You will need paper and pens, also one big(or even giant:)surface where you will put the whole map of the place together. You can also do all the drawings on the sidewalk, using colored chalk.
