Let’s eat outside Activity
Picnics are a great way to get outdoors and spend time with your whānau.
Why do it?
- It’s something to enjoy outside in the fresh air.
- You can be close to nature and observe and talk about the natural world.
- All the kōrero that takes place at a picnic will help strengthen language skills.
- This could be a time to practise using manners like ‘please’, ‘kia ora’ ‘thank you’ and ‘excuse me’.
How to do it
Me whai i: Tētahi rā paki!
You’ll need: A sunny day!
- Haere ki te kai tahi me tō whānau ki waho - mō te parakuihi, te tina, te hapa rānei – ahakoa te wā!
Head outside with your whanau for kai – for breakfast, lunch, snacks or tea, anytime! - Whakaritea mai he kai me tētahi paraikete, ka haere ki tētahi wāhi, e rawe ana, e harikoa ana ki a koe.
Pack some kai and a blanket and head outside to a spot in the garden that makes you feel relaxed and happy. - Tohua he wāhi pai, e noho, kātahi ka kai.
Choose your spot, get comfy and share kai. - Me tākaro, me tūhura hoki koe i taua wāhi.
Spend some time playing and exploring too.
