Here are a number of ideas for activities to try when you are exploring the beach / seaside.
- Sketching - Ask the children to sketch different things that they have found on the beach / at the seaside.
- Try to find items which begin with each letter of the alphabet. These could be recorded with written notes, sketches, photographs, videos or collection of items which are safe to pick up and bring back to school.
- Beach Photography - Show the children how to use digital cameras and ask them to take the perfect beach photos.
- Beach reports - Use voice recorders / microphones to record an audio report about the beach visit. These could also be used to record sounds that can be heard at the seaside.
- Sandcastle competition - Have a sandcastle building competition... which individual / team will make the 'best' sandcastle. Prizes could be awarded for best team, best design, most imaginative castle etc.
- Beach Treasure Hunt - Challenge the children to find particular items on the beach. Make sure that the items on your list are actually there before they start!
- Rockpooling - This can be a really exciting and enjoyable activity if you have the equipment and adult support.
If you have any of your own ideas, please email them or leave a comment below and I will add them to this page. Thanks!
