First try this calm and quiet activity.
You can do this inside or outside:
Make a sound map, ready?
1. Get a piece of paper and a pencil or marker or pen
2. Draw a dot in the center of the paper (that's YOU!)
*You're the dot, so you can put your name
3. Sit somewhere quiet (shhhhhh) and listen for sounds all around you. If you feel comfortable, close your eyes...
4. Whenever you hear a sound, draw another dot on your map from wherever the sound came from
*If the sound is far away, behind you, place it on the edge of your map, behind you
*If the sound is close to you, on your left, place the dot close to you, on your left
5. Sit and listen for 5 minutes (or more!)
...now you have a Sound Map, great job!
Your sound map can help you be more aware of your environment and once you start noticing sounds, you'll start noticing more animals and plants, too.
Right now, connecting to nature is really important.
*Today, I am reminded that everything in nature is connected to everything else!
