10 Nature Activities to Do with Grandparents & Grandchildren

  1. Worm Hunting: Go on a hunt for worms with your grandparents and see who can find the biggest and squirmiest one. Just make sure to wash your hands after handling them.

  2. Leaf Pile Jumping: Rake up a pile of leaves with your grandparents and jump in them for a fun and nostalgic activity. Just make sure grandpa doesn't accidentally fall asleep in the pile.

  3. Mud Pie Making: Get your hands dirty with your grandparents and make some delicious (and messy) mud pies. Just make sure to avoid any rocks or sticks in the mud.

  4. Cloud Watching: Lay down in the grass with your grandparents and see who can spot the most creative cloud shapes. Just make sure not to fall asleep and get a sunburn.

  5. Nature Charades: Act out different animals or plants in a game of nature-themed charades with your grandparents. Just make sure grandpa doesn't accidentally break anything with his wild gestures.

  6. Nature Tic-Tac-Toe: Draw a tic-tac-toe board in the dirt and use natural materials like rocks and sticks to play the classic game with your grandparents. Just make sure grandma doesn't cheat and move a rock when you're not looking.

  7. Insect Collecting: Search for insects like ladybugs, ants, and beetles with your grandparents and observe their behavior. Just make sure not to bring any stinging insects back to the house.

  8. Nature Trivia: Test your knowledge of nature with your grandparents by playing a game of trivia. Just make sure to go easy on them if they start to get too competitive.

  9. Flower Crown Making: Collect some flowers and make beautiful flower crowns with your grandparents. Just make sure grandpa doesn't get too jealous of your fabulous headpiece.

  10. Scarecrow Building: Get creative with your grandparents and build a scarecrow to keep the birds away from the garden. Just make sure not to scare any of the neighbors with your masterpiece.
