Follow the Scent

In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories marked with flavors and smells like peppermint, vanilla and onion. Learners also explore how humans set up and mark territories, and what role scent plays in the learners' real lives. This activity can be made simpler for younger learners....
