ANIMAL CIRCLE CLUB is an interactive, outdoor walking story-- part of a catalog of stories from Nature's Theater. A guide introduces the kids to the Animal Circle Club, and they embark on a quest. If the kids can answer four riddles about animals and perform four playful tasks they will be asked to join the Animal Circle Club. Can they do it? Will they find the Magic box and discover the secret of the animals? During the walk the children learn fun facts about animals, play games and are introduced to the concept, "kindness and caring for all". The walking story is fun and easy to lead - for teens and adults alike. Three to five people can lead Animal Circle Club. To make it super easy for the leaders, the entire story is included in a special section called the Magical Earth Book. The guide carries the book on the outing and reads from it when necessary to help the kids reach their goal--joining the Animal Circle Club. The book also includes step-by-step instructions and tips on how to lead a walking story, as well as appendices with information on Group Management, Costumes and Props and Feedback Forms.
