Below is a Google MyMap created as a resource for families to take their young learners (Pre-K-1st grade) in free time that act as not only fun things to do, but educational opportunities. I believe that children learn best through play, so many of these locations are designed for place based learning, but there are also a volunteer opportunity and a craft supply store. One layer of the map will show outdoor locations, while the other will show indoor locations. It would even be fun to pitch a field trip idea around one of these experiences!

Great idea for a map-based lesson. And good tool for “pitching” idea for a field trip. I would add that my neighborhood – North Park Blocks has a new sensory playground. Kids have a great time there.
I love this Jessica! This is such great thing to share with families and to also give them some ideas for things to do out of school!
I love this idea! And I agree with Ellie that this is a great thing to share with families!
