This activity is designed for 5th to 8th graders to aid in the teaching of public building. In this practice, the students imagine that they are at the park. Here are the instructions:

You are at a beautiful park. You see the green trees and hear the birds. Take a deep breath in and smell the fresh air.
Walk in the park. You feel the grass. It is soft.
You see a group of flowers. Take a deep breath in and smell them. Watch them. They are pink, yellow, red, and purple.
You see ducks in the lake. They are quacking. Listen to them.
You see your friends. They are having a picnic. They give you a sandwich. It is tasty.
You exit the park. Open your eyes. How do you feel now? Happy? Excited? Great?
