Trail Path Example

I took the shape of the path from Whinlatter's previous activity sheet.
I tried for the walk to never be too long for the children between a sign, board, post or activity. This means they're always excited to find the next thing, which is sure to be near. This will prevent boredom.
I left the very last pumpkin sign for the adjoining activity sheet right towards the end, so the children always have something to look forward to. Something which they know will be there.
The character posts mark the presence of an upcoming information board - therefore the boards have been positioned close to the posts.
"This way" signs have been positioned where the path breaks off a different way.
Activities are spaced out.
The trail does a full circle, starting at the Visitor's centre (where the "Start sign" is positioned) and finishing there too. There is a "Finish" sign to reward children with a sense of accomplishment. Then they can go to the visitor's centre to get their sweet reward for completing the pumpkin activity sheet!
Overall, as you can see above, this trail will be packed with activities, games and information, meaning that children will have fun. The directional signs prevent anyone from getting lost.


Trail will be about 45 minutes long.
