In this episode of Teach Outdoors, “The Power of Play: How Free Play in Nature Builds Foundational Skills,” we explore the incredible impact of outdoor free play on students of all ages. Often thought of as a preschool or kindergarten activity, free play is actually a powerful tool for learners from elementary through high school. Research shows that free play helps build essential skills like problem-solving, resilience, and executive function. This episode dives into how free play enhances learning across age groups, supporting mental breaks, creativity, and social-emotional growth.

We’ll cover practical strategies for incorporating free play into busy school days, discuss overcoming challenges, and provide ideas for setting expectations and routines to make outdoor play effective and safe. Tune in for ways to create space for free play in nature, support foundational skills, and bring joy and exploration back into learning.
