What to do

Choose a tree that you think someone will like. Ask them to close their eyes (or use something to hand as a blindfold) and spin them round a few times. Guide them to their tree and get them to feel and smell it really carefully. Guide them away. Can they find their tree? Now they should choose a tree for you.

Lie under the tree and look up through the branches - what can you see?

Things to think about

  • What did your tree feel like?
  • What did it smell like?
  • How did it feel to find your tree?
  • What do you love about your tree?
  • Which animals do you think live in your tree?
  • Could you plant a tree somewhere?
