In the article brought to your attention, we propose to discuss the rules of behavior in nature. This article will also help school teachers conduct an open lesson before the trip.
The lesson should take the form of a conversation. Each student is required to know and adhere to the rules of behavior in nature. If you follow the tips that are given in the article, the children will not only have a good rest, but will also gain strength before difficult everyday life. However, not every adult knows these rules.
Preparing for a vacation
Of course, it is necessary for every person living on our planet to know the rules of human behavior in nature. But it is equally important to properly prepare for such an interesting walk. So, this section of the article will be fully devoted to the preparatory phase of outdoor recreation. It’s worth remembering a few fairly simple rules:
- Proper selection of clothing (legs, arms, neck and head should be closed). This will help protect against dangerous animals and insects (ticks, mosquitoes, ants and snakes).
- The headgear should be tight.
- As for neck protection, it is better to use a turtleneck or high neck thong. It is better to refuse a scarf, as it can cling to branches.
- Be sure to bring a cell phone, matches, a knife and a watch (for orientation in time).
- Use tools that repel insects. This item is very important to consider especially in those cases if you plan to stay outdoors for a long time.
- If you intend to organize a picnic, be sure to take care of the garbage container. It can be containers or dense packages. All leftovers after a meal should be packaged and discarded only in strictly designated places.
What dangers await?
Although a vacation in the forest, at first glance, seems like an absolutely safe idea, you should prepare for it in advance, taking into account all the nuances. In fact, you will find a lot of dangers. Which ones? You can find out from the list published in this section of the article:
- Damage to the skin (knots, thorns, brushwood and so on).
- Damages of a mechanical nature (stones, broken glass, and so on).
- The possibility of a bite of poisonous insects and animals, depending on the area, they can be varied (scorpions, snakes, spiders, wasps, mosquitoes, and many others).
- Drops from a height are possible (try to keep up with the group and look carefully under your feet).
- Poisoning with mushrooms, berries and plants (never eat what you know nothing about, perhaps this attractive berry or mushroom is very dangerous for humans).
- Thunderstorm and lightning are also a danger in the forest, since a fire is possible (in bad weather it is better to stay at home, and go to nature only on a clear day).
- Injury in water (you can swim only in strictly designated places, no one knows what is at the bottom of a wild beach).
Proper handling of fire
Studying the rules of behavior in nature, one cannot but pay attention to the proper handling of fire. Let's start with where you can’t breed it at all. This short list is easy enough to remember:
- peat bogs;
- dry grass fields;
- near fir and pines;
- near a living tree.
If you need to light a fire, you should dig a hole for it, and before leaving make sure that it is completely extinguished (covered with earth or flooded with water). It is strictly forbidden in the forest:
- smoking;
- rocket launch;
- shooting in dry weather.
What do children need?
Among the rules of behavior in nature for children, it is especially worth noting:
- Do not harm the environment (do not make noise, do not break trees and shrubs, do not throw garbage, and so on);
- Shoe comfortable and closed shoes (sneakers or sneakers);
- wear only closed clothing;
- wear a hat;
- be able to provide first aid for cuts, burns and bruises;
- Keep up with the group
- Do not eat unknown foods (mushrooms, berries, plants).
Listen to adults, do not overwhelm them. Outdoor recreation can be varied: hiking in the forest, to the lake, climbing mountains and so on. But it’s worth remembering - wherever you are, follow these simple rules. Then this vacation will remain a very pleasant memory.
