COULD YOU HELP US GROW THE MOVEMENT?
We’re on a mission to make outdoor play and learning part of every day. But we can’t do it alone – we need you! Could you support the campaign by spreading the word and helping to grow the movement?
Whether you’ve got five minutes or a full day, there is something you can do! Here are some ideas to get you started.
FIVE MINUTES
If you only have five minutes, please share one of these posts…
FIFTEEN MINUTES
If you have a bit longer, why not publish your own social media post? Here is some text you can use and adapt…
I’m proud to support #OutdoorClassroomDay! On 1 November, 1,000s of teachers around the world will take children outdoors to play and learn. Will you join them? Register your class – or whole school – today: Outdoor Classroom Day Sign Up #outdoorlearning #playmatters #tagateacher
Ninety-four per cent of teachers surveyed for #OutdoorClassroomDay said that children are more creative after outdoor play, and 88 per cent report that outdoor learning improves pupils’ engagement. Thousands of teachers around the world are showing why children need more time outdoors by getting involved on 1 November – will you join them?

ONE HOUR
If you have an hour or two, add one of these banners to your blog, website or e-newsletter to show your support for the campaign and encourage others to get involved. If you have enough space, add this standard web copy as well.
If you are a parent of school-aged children, use this letter to ask their school to sign up and see if they would like you to help out on the day. Why not take your children outside after school on the day as well?
HALF A DAY
If you have somewhere to publish your thoughts, such as a blog or a news feed, why not use Outdoor Classroom Day as the focus of your next piece? Use our template blog post, images and logo to bring it to life.
FULL DAY OR LONGER
Most organisations and individuals want to support the campaign because it fits with their own aims and ethos. If you can build communications about the campaign into your ongoing schedule, why not do all the above and show how Outdoor Classroom Day links with your own work? Don’t forget to tag us and use #OutdoorClassroomDay on social media – we’ll support and share wherever possible.
Thank you!
