Good book, but I only actually will use about 15 of the 42 activities in this book. I was a bit disappointed in a lot of the activities.
The content outside of the activities of this book is pretty thin, but still worth reading. I just started the sequel to this book (Sharing the Joy of Nature), and I already feel like I'm getting a lot more useable info.
Regardless, this book is a quick read and there ARE activities worth having this book for...I just thought it would have a larger concentration and quantity of awesome games, but most of them were just ok or meh. But the good ones are good, so again, worth checking this book out. I've used several of these games with children and they are quite fun!

Cornell also wrote a book for adults called Listening to Nature.
Although this was published in 1979, it doesn’t feel dated at all. It’s full of wonderful ideas that I will use as a Forest School Practitioner.
A great guide for games, activities, and ideas for spending time in nature with kids.
