Welcome to the exciting world of sailing! Teaching children about sailing is an excellent way to promote an understanding of the ocean and its potential. Here are 3 teaching ideas/activities that you can use to excite and engage your pupils in the classroom.
1. Sea Life Exploration: Give students the opportunity to explore the different sea life that can be found in the ocean. You can start by discussing the different types of fish and other animals that can be found in the sea. After that, students can create a poster or presentation about a particular type of sea creature.
2. Boat Design: Ask the students to design their own boat. Get them to plan out the type of boat they want to build, the materials they need, and discuss the design of the boat. This is a great way to get the students to use their creativity and think critically.
3. Navigation: Teach students the basics of navigation. Show them how to read a compass and use it to find their way around the ocean. This will help them to become more confident sailors.
