Kindergarten Incursions

At Wild Action, we specialise in providing incursions for kindergarten that bring the wonders of wildlife directly to your little ones. With over 31 years of experience in environmental education, you can trust us to provide four ‘hands-on’ interactive wildlife workshops direct to your classroom.

Early Years Environmental Education

Children are our Planet’s future. Our four ‘hands-on’ wildlife incursions introduce your Pre-Schoolers to the Natural World. Our programs promote enquiry, teaching your children wonderment for all things Wild. Empowering your children with knowledge is the best way to ensure conservation in the future. Our workshops encourage exploration, connection and confidence.

Unparalleled wildlife choice

Presented by an Engaging and Experienced Team!

The Wild Action Team are dynamic and entertaining. We really know how to engage pre-schoolers. Our energetic and ‘hands-on’ learning programs makes a Wild Action visit a highlight of any Child’s kinder year! Each Pre-Schooler will touch and interact with every animal. Every child, has an opportunity to hold an animal in front of the class, and everybody has the opportunity to have a personal photo experience to share with their families.

Curriculum focus and education outcomes

We introduce your pre-schoolers to the wonders of Nature. Introducing a myriad of animals, we teach respect and wonderment for the Natural World. In each of our programs we discuss and explore:

  • Animal Types: i.e. Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds, Insects
  • Coverings: i.e. Fur, slimy skin, scales, feathers and exoskeletons.
  • Homes of Animals: i.e. where do they live? What is a habitat?
  • Environments: Woodlands, backyards, deserts, waterways, rainforest etc
  • Ecological Niche: We teach your Children about the important jobs of each and every animal
  • We discuss ways in which we can all help out animals by being personally responsible.
  • We stress the importance of not touching nor picking up wildlife, and we discuss the dangers.

Our Curriculum Focus is flexible and appropriate:

The Wild Action Team are more than happy to ’tailor’ your workshop to specific learning outcomes or study interests. Not only do we provide an unbelievable wildlife experience, we aim to instil a wonderment and respect for our Natural World.

Our interactive workshops will help grow your Students confidence in interacting with wildlife, and strengthen their understanding of the importance of protecting biodiversity. Ultimately, we help create respect for all animals.

FAQ’s

Do our animal’s get stressed?

This is a very important question!

All of our animals are part of our huge extended Family. Most, if not all of our animals are lovingly hand-reared and cared for in the home of the Director of Wild Action, Zoologist Chris Humfrey and his Family. This is why we can bring such a diverse array of native wildlife safely into your classroom. Our animals are not stressed! In fact, they love interacting with people. To accomplish this, it this takes 24/7 passion, energy and commitment to achieve this special experience.

What are our requirements?

We just need a suitable space where your Pre-Schoolers can comfortably be seated in a large semi-circle. 5m x 5m are is perfect! Indoors is most suitable. The kinder mat is a great place!

Children must be instructed to wash their hands after our activation.
