Find five colours

Start

A game for the kids and for you: find one thing in each of five colours before you reach the end of the path.

Op een wandelpad met kinderen verschuift de aandacht vanzelf als er iets te zoeken valt. Wie op zoek is naar vijf kleuren, kijkt anders: niet naar de route of de tijd, maar naar de binnenkant van een bloem, de kleur van een boomstam na regen, het blauw dat bijna nergens is. Blauw is het lastigst in een bos, en dat weet iedereen al voordat ze vertrekken.

De meeste mensen merken dat het spel hen zelf ook meesleept. Je loopt langzamer, je bukt vaker, en op een gegeven moment sta je met je neus boven een paddenstoel te discussiëren of dat nou echt oranje is of toch bruin. Wie als eerste blauw vindt, mag de plek kiezen waar jullie stoppen om te eten. Dat maakt de vondst, hoe klein ook, even belangrijk als de bestemming.

Agree on five colours before you start. Blue is the hard one in a forest.

Suggestion: Let the youngest choose.

Photograph each find, or point and shout. No picking flowers.

Suggestion: Insects count if they hold still.

Whoever finds blue first picks the snack spot.

Suggestion: Bring the snack.
