welcome to our website of completely free natural world resources for teachers, schools, parents and children
Small things can make a big difference, and by taking up our Big 20 challenge children can have a massive positive effect on the wildlife around them - as well as trying out lots of interesting new things and enjoying themselves on the way.
These challenges can be done in any order, and over any period of time - provided you are under 10 3/4! But why not really challenge yourself to see how many you can do in a school holiday, or over a single term? And to share the fun, why not take up the challenge with a friend, or as part of a team?
If you click on a challenge on this page it wll take you to another page giving you all the information you need to succeed, but we are also putting the information on all the challenges into our special Big 20 Challenge booklet, which you will be able to download and keep.
The booklet will also give you space to record the challenges you have completed, and when.
So, the next important question is -
