I love this list of 50 things to do before you're 11 ^3/4.

Kids can sign up at 50things.org.uk and track their progress achieving each activity. I'm looking forward to helping Little Eco sign up and working our way through the activities she hasn't yet tried. 

Here's the list of 50 outdoor activities every child should experience:

Any of these bring back fond childhood memories?

There's so many activities on that list that make me smile. Climbing a giant tree and cooking my first damper on a campfire are probably two of my favourite.

How are your children tracking? Little Eco has managed around 27/50 and I'm looking forward to helping her tick off the rest. 

The list was created by asking UK children to name their favourite outdoor activities, so there's a couple that may not be as relevant for Australian children - like conkers or pooh sticks. I'm looking forward to learning how to play those games. 

50 activities not enough? Caro and Co wrote a great list of the 100 things she believes children should experience before they depart childhood.  I especially love 'Fall out of a tree', and 'do nothing'.
