When the weather’s good, or you don’t mind getting wet……

• Visit our favourite rockpooling sites within the UK, or find out where your nearest Wildlife Trust coastal reserve or centre is and get out and about.
• Remember to take a copy of our Seashore code with you, for some fun colouring in as well as safety advice.
• Investigate the clarity and productivity of our seas by making a secchi disc.
• Go on a beach adventure, discover treasure and build your own pirate ship, only to be shipwrecked at the end of the day!

When the weather’s bad…..

• Bake some tasty skate and ray biscuits
• Make a basking shark puppet
• Who am I? – play the name guessing game
• Make your very own salt dough sea creatures

Things to do if you’re with a group of friends, or for schools to do…..

• A whole host of fun and games for groups or schools!
• Play the hungry dolphin game and learn how dolphins find food.

And if this isn’t enough…
