God Made It: Outside Checklist

God Made it ... Outside! File Folder Game, Checklist & More!

I like to say God made this, God made that while we are walking or playing. So, I made this to use while we take walks to have a checklist and we can talk more about God's creation! You can also add more discussion by coloring what you saw outside. She took her job of searching and marking off the items very seriously!

I also made the box carriers you see in the above photo to carry the things that God made as they checked them off their list. Directions to put it together is on the download, and I used two 3/8" x 15" ribbons for the handles. You could use string, or whatever size ribbon you have handy.

We love file folder games, and this one will work with God's Creation outside. It is a great preview of what to look for outside, or a review of what you found. It is also good to review colors and objects. Click here to print.

I also used this as a pre-walk to talk about why we were looking for certain items... things God made. I opened the Bible and read Genesis 1:1. It's a great memory verse!

What a wonderful application lesson for preschoolers. I don't think my 3-year-old class can comprehend that a globe symbolizes the world, so this checklist activity will help them understand that God made everything they can see. A photo of their "hunt" will serve as reinforcement. Thanks!

As kids get older, they really enjoy scavenger hunts in the outdoors: things like evidence of an insect having been nearby, find a bird feather, etc.
Such good ideas here in your space!
