Mr Tortoise and Mr Hare

While we were hiking Jordan and I played Mr Tortoise (me) and Mr Hare (Jordan, 7 years old).

We made a list of what Mr Tortoise likes to do while hiking. What would you add to this list?

When Mr Tortoise Goes Hiking

· He always drinks plenty of water before starting out

· He eats often – even if he doesn’t feel like it – for more energy

· He carries water and drinks a lot of it

· If it’s hot, he hikes early or late in the day

· He dresses appropriately and always uses sun block and wears sunglasses

· He only carries what he needs – the less weight, the more fun!

· He knows the way and tells someone where he’s going and when he’ll be back

· He leaves everything – plants, animals and trails – like he found them

· He picks up litter so other people can enjoy their hike more

· He always thinks positive – what fun thing to see or do is just up ahead? – and has fun!
