187 Ways to Have Fun in the Forest

This book introduces 187 forest eco-play activities in the form of cartoons, developed by the author, a cartoonist and eco-play coordinator, with his extensive experience and creativity.
Most of the ecological games in this book can be played in the forest without any special equipment or with materials that are easily found in nature.

The purpose of playing in the forest is to develop children's sensitivity and foster social skills through community play.
The play was designed to allow children to have fun in the forest, naturally understand the forest's ecology, and realize the importance of living with the forest.
Because the play situation is expressed in a cartoon format, it is not only easy to understand, but also convenient to apply to each situation.
A major advantage of this book is that it can easily solve the most difficult parts for forest guides who conduct play in the field: starting and ending play.
It is useful not only for forest guides who conduct ecological play, but also for teachers and parents.


Introducing knowledge and play related to forests by topic

The methods and theories needed to plan and conduct ecological play are briefly summarized in the front, and the play is divided into topics such as ‘Before Playing in the Forest,’ ‘What is a Forest?,’ ‘Friends You Meet in the Forest,’ and ‘Play by Plant Part.’
The ecological knowledge necessary for ecological play has been compiled and included separately.

In 'Before Playing in the Forest', we introduced games that can help children develop the right mindset when entering the forest, as well as games that divide children into groups to play.
"What is a Forest?" features games that help children realize how precious the forest is to us, while "Friends You Meet in the Forest" features games that help children understand the ecology of the forest, including trees, grass, insects, and wild animals.
The most important plants that make up a forest are divided into parts such as leaves, stems, roots, and fruits to allow for an in-depth understanding.
