Go Play in the Woods Fortune Teller Game
This is a foldable fortune teller (also called a cootie catcher). It is geared towards younger children and families and would be fun to play out in a wooded park or natural area. If you need help folding this, try a you-tube search for fortune teller or cootie catcher. Sorry, I haven’t made a video yet, but hopefully will get to that soon:)

Outdoor Scavenger Hunt for Families
This scavenger hunt is a little more involved and may take a few outings to find everything. It was created with large city green-spaces or urban parks in mind. It is geared towards elementary aged children, but I think families of all ages could have fun with this.
