Preparing for outdoor recreation
If you plan to spend time in nature, you should prepare for this pastime in advance.
- It is recommended to choose clothing that will tightly cover your neck, arms and legs from dangerous insects and animals such as ticks, ants and snakes.
- Care should be taken to purchase a headdress made of thick fabric.
- It is better not to wear a scarf, as it can get caught on branches of trees or bushes.
- The importance of communication devices should not be underestimated. It is advisable for a person going to nature to take a mobile phone with him. The vacationer should also have matches, a knife and a watch.
- You can use an insect repellent, especially if the vacationer plans to stay in an open area or in a tent for a long time.
- If a vacationer plans to have a picnic, then he needs to take care of purchasing garbage containers in advance. All waste left over after eating must be placed in bags or special containers and thrown away in designated areas.
Basic rules of behavior in nature
- It is not recommended to stay in nature until dark.
- You should not leave the paths and trails.
- If a person realizes that he is lost, he should listen to the surrounding sounds. The noise of cars or the barking of a dog can help you find directions to the nearest town.
- You should not rest near anthills, wasp nests and other dangerous objects. Before setting up your tent, you need to carefully inspect the surrounding area.
- You should not pick unfamiliar berries and mushrooms, as they can be poisonous.
- It is not recommended to drink water from reservoirs, as there is a high probability that it is unsuitable for drinking.
- It is important to avoid using devices that play loud music as it may disturb animals. Sharp unnatural sounds frighten animals, making them irritable and aggressive.
- Avoid using eau de parfum or perfume as strong odors may attract insects.
Basic Rules
The duty of every person is to preserve nature . Therefore, our task is to minimize harm to the environment, because we ourselves suffer from this.
A healthy ecosystem is characterized by species diversity, but at the same time, it is also a danger for vacationers. And although wild animals rarely attack people, no one excludes the possibility of stumbling upon a hungry predator. Then outdoor recreation can turn into a negative experience. Thus, compliance with the rules is directly related to human safety.
However, animals are not the only danger. Quiet representatives of the flora pose a much more tangible threat. Unfamiliar berries, shrubs, attractive but poisonous mushrooms. You must not allow this vegetation to deceive you. It's easy to confuse them with safe ones, but the consequences can be dire.
Mushrooms are sometimes called the orderlies of the thicket, because they decompose toxins and regulate the composition of the soil. Roughly speaking, they absorb harmful substances like a sponge, which makes them dangerous to consume. Therefore, before treating yourself to mushroom soup in nature, carefully read whether a particular mushroom can be used for food.
Also check where it grows. Mushrooms growing near contaminants should not be eaten. The same applies to those species that grow near poisonous ones, since they absorb all their toxins and poisons.
What should a child know before going outdoors?
Children's favorite way to get to know the world around them is to put everything they can get their hands on into their mouths. Therefore, wildlife objects can cause danger. It is worth explaining to the little ones that they cannot try the berries they encounter without showing them to adults. The same applies to other gifts of nature.
Older children should be taught how to move around the forest correctly: you shouldn’t rush around headlong, because if you trip over a random stone or root you can be seriously injured.
The main dos and don'ts
Can be done with adults | Can't do |
Approach bodies of water | Run away from adults |
Play in the water | Go far into the forest |
Approach an open fire | Throw garbage |
Collect bouquets | Aimlessly pick flowers and grass |
Collect berries and nuts | Try raw mushrooms, unfamiliar fruits |
Look at anthills | Pick up fauna representatives |
It is useful to explain to children that all living beings have the right to live and grow. Therefore, you cannot kill insects, spoil berry bushes and mushrooms, even poisonous ones. Every plant and animal is an important part of the ecosystem; deprivation of one representative of flora or fauna can negatively affect nature.
When in the forest with a child, take care of his safety:
- the baby should not be in the sun for too long;
- clothes should be as bright as possible so that the child can be clearly seen.
Pack and take a small first aid kit with you, because a young city dweller who is not accustomed to insects and plants may get hurt or react too sensitively to pollen.
A portable first aid kit should contain:
- hydrogen peroxide;
- brilliant green or iodine;
- Activated carbon;
- burn remedy;
- antihistamine;
- repellent and remedy for mosquito and bumblebee bites;
- antibacterial wet wipes.
After finishing an amazing forest adventure, remind your child that all garbage must be collected and taken with them, and the fire must be extinguished to prevent a forest fire.
It is necessary to follow simple rules of behavior in nature; for children, following them will be a guarantor of safety, will help them learn a caring attitude towards living beings, vision and understanding of beauty, and will instill in children a love for their native land.
Rules in nature - reminder
Season | It is forbidden |

Autumn | · set fire to dry leaves and grass; · pick mushrooms. |
Winter | · touch and break fragile branches; · scare forest inhabitants. |
In any season | · damage the bark of trees; · leave fires unextinguished; · make noise; · break shoots of bushes and tree branches; · catch animals, birds, take them home; · leave trash. |
Movement
It is imperative to look at your feet. And not only so as not to trample mushrooms and flowers, but also so as not to fall off the slope, not to step on a snake, etc. If there are paths in the area you need to walk through, then it is best to follow them. If a large group of vacationers has gathered in a clearing, it is better to disperse so as not to disturb the vegetation cover.
To avoid damaging lichen and moss, it is better to move on them when they are wet. You cannot go straight down the slopes. Ideally, you need to move at low speed and in zigzags.
Camp setup
There are certain rules of behavior in nature for pitching tents and bivouacs. They need to be installed in a safe and open place, but not in clearings with moss. If you plan to plant them near water, it is better to do this outside the water protection zone. Dead wood is used for tent poles. Or you can take the stands with you, as well as pegs for fastening to the ground.
For toilets and food waste, you need to dig a hole, but no closer than 50 m from the reservoir. When leaving, you should bury it, or cover it with removed turf, and all debris should be burned. What will not burn, take it with you (products made of plastic, iron and glass).
Rules of conduct on the river
Swimming is a favorite activity for children, but cool river water can be dangerous. It is important to know the rules, which in Russia have not changed much since the 19th century. Rules of behavior for children on the water:
- You should not dive in unfamiliar places.
- Do not play dangerous games with capture.
- In winter and spring, do not go on the ice.
- If you don’t know how to swim, use armbands or an inflatable ring.
- You cannot drink water from the pond.
- Don't swim too far. Unless you are a strong swimmer, avoid long distance throws. This could end badly.
- Do not enter the water while intoxicated. Especially in the heat. Low water temperature and high air temperature will cause temperature shock. This is fraught with consequences.
- Pay attention to special signs and pointers describing the rules of behavior in nature; the pictures depicted on them will help you find your way.
- If there is a sign indicating that swimming is prohibited, do not take risks.
- Having discovered a previously unfamiliar body of water, try to analyze whether it is suitable for swimming. Muddy water, strange snags, lack of flow and stagnant water are bad signs. Good – no thickets nearby, running water at an acceptable temperature.
What are the rules of behavior in nature for children near water:
- Don't let children go too deep;
- Check the water temperature; children should not be in water with a temperature below 26 degrees;
- Acceptable residence time is up to 10 minutes. In warmer water – from 20;
- Do not allow your child to swallow water. Explain that this is dangerous;
- Provide your child with safety devices. Teach basic swimming skills so that your baby can stay on the surface.
What water safety signs look like
In preschool institutions, educators carry out explanatory work on the safety of children on the water. These include conversations and lectures; it could be a presentation where water safety signs will be placed on the slides. Of course, not everyone at this age can read, but they are all able to remember the designation of these signs and their meaning.
For your information! The most important sign is the one framed in green. It depicts a man swimming. This is how swimming places are designated.
The same green frame depicts two kids standing in the water. This sign identifies swimming areas.
An identical frame depicts a swimming dog. This is a place for animals to bathe.
Signs you need to know
A swimming man is depicted in a red frame against a background of blue water. The frame is crossed out diagonally in red. Swimming is prohibited here.
These are the basic water safety signs that a preschool child should know.
Preparing the children for the hike
Once you have thoroughly prepared yourself, you need to instruct your children on how to behave safely while camping. They begin to prepare children for a forest adventure in advance, telling and explaining what they can do and what they absolutely cannot do. All your “don’ts” should be clear and understandable for children. It’s just that some children perceive the word “you can’t” as “if no one sees, then it’s possible.” Therefore, it is very important not just to ban, but to explain to children everything that can happen to them (and to the forest) if they break the ban. If you are planning to pick mushrooms and berries, you must first introduce children to the names of mushrooms and teach them to distinguish edible mushrooms (berries) from inedible ones.
- For children of middle and high school age, it is enough to have a conversation and distribute a reminder or booklets. Special signs used by foresters and firefighters for the safety of people and wildlife are studied;
- For younger children, the conversation should be repeated and emotionally charged, the booklets more colorful. It wouldn’t hurt to watch a movie and conduct a class hour on the topic “save nature”;
- Preschool children are more emotional, more obedient, but they are also more curious than their older friends. It is much more difficult for them to remember the rules of behavior, which is why preparation for a hike requires a longer period. The memo is replaced by pictures, which the parent or teacher explains in detail. Educational cartoons, fairy tales, and the didactic game “Rules of Conduct in the Forest” are used as means of instructing preschoolers.
What to do if your child constantly lies and deceives
Animals and birds
Wild animals should not be fed. The foods that humans eat are not always safe for animals and birds. You can't destroy anthills. Many ants are listed in the Red Book.
Rules of behavior in nature prohibit picking up and touching baby animals and chicks. Eggs in nests should not be touched. After this, their parents abandon them and they die. It is also prohibited to take wild animals and birds into a populated area. It is not recommended to take dogs with you on vacation at a time when wild animals are raising offspring. In addition, they will not protect you from meeting a bear, and by barking at the animal, they can anger it and lead it to its owners.
The forest is our wealth, we are its friends

If you are not found | listen to voices and sounds. Having heard the sounds of civilization (voices, music, noise of cars) - go in their direction, focusing on the volume (the louder the sounds, the closer you are); |
moving forward, leave creases, nicks, and best of all, strings or things, so that those who look for you can know about your direction; | |
try to remember where you entered the forest from and in what direction you were moving; | |
if you find a stream, move in its direction - it will lead you to the river, and it is very likely that there may be people there; | |
look around, do you see any stretched electrical wires? If yes, then follow them, they always go towards populated areas. |
The forest is magical, alluring and friendly. In order for your acquaintance to be useful and positive, remember the rules of behavior, which absolutely CANNOT be violated.
Fire safety in the forest
The forest is a fire hazard
Rules:
- Fire is one of the biggest dangers in the forest, so young children should not make a fire without an adult.
- You can't play with fire.
- If a fire does happen, it is important to run away from the forest in the direction from which the wind is blowing.
- Be sure to inform an adult about the fire.
For your information! Parents should surround the child with care and attention so as not to leave them alone, and children would not want to play with fire. Safety in the forest for children depends entirely on the behavior of adults.
Where to light a fire outdoors?
To avoid causing a fire, light a fire in an open space, away from trees and bushes.
Put out the fire
Mandatory rule in nature! Make sure you completely extinguish the fire. You can’t even imagine how many forests are dying from fires because a fire is left unextinguished.
Reminder of rules of behavior in the forest for children in pictures
Slides and text of this presentation
Children must remember and understand: Birds’ nests must not be destroyed! If you saw an egg in the grass or heard the cries of chicks, do not approach, do not climb there and do not disturb either the birds or the nest.
Ants are forest orderlies; It’s not for nothing that people called them that! So that the forest is beautiful and healthy, Without harmful larvae and beetles, Ants are on guard day and night: They drive various bark beetles away!
Just don’t bother them, my friend! Don't destroy anthills! These orderlies are so needed for the forests of your native country!
For hedgehogs and squirrels, the Forest is their home. They live there boldly, both in summer and winter:
Therefore, you should not take them to the city... Believe me: they are in captivity They will not eat or sleep...
They find food to raise their children and don’t want to leave the forest at all...
Moths fly in the forest, boogers and beetles crawl... Mother Nature gave them life. They all have their own things to do.
You will see them on the way - Don’t offend, but move away! Without insects, the forest, my friend, is lonely and empty...
Flowers decorate meadows and forests. But this is not only the beauty of nature. Bees find a healing gift in them, And butterflies drink sweet nectar from them. There is no need, friends, there is no point in tearing them, There is no need to make bouquets out of them... The bouquets will wither... The flowers will die... And there will no longer be such beauty!
There are rare flowers, White and tender: Lilies of the valley, snowdrops will nod to you warmly...
Just don’t tear them up - with them the forest is kinder, brighter. After all, now there are very few such flowers on earth...
A colored butterfly flutters above you... The dragonfly frolics, dances, has fun...
Everyone is so excited about summer! There is no need to catch them... Let them fly and decorate the Earth...
The forest has its own music... Listen to it, friends! Here are the trills of birds, Here is a squirrel jumping up and down, And here is a grasshopper chattering, A woodpecker is knocking on a branch...
So many sounds here and there! There is no need for noise and hubbub in the forest: You can’t make noise, shout, shout, or play loud music!
It is dangerous to have fun with fire without adults - the fun can end horribly. Sometimes it can be very dry in the forest. A fire will turn into a serious disaster! Imagine that the flame will easily flare up, will begin to blaze, scatter and sparkle - It will be impossible to extinguish it then... Forest fires are a big problem!
You guys have come for a hike... Of course, you need to rest: Play and frolic, And eat and drink... But there are still banks, Cellophane, pieces of iron, bottles around...
You can't leave them here! Let's not be lazy, friends: The garbage here in the forest is alien, Let's take it with us!
You can’t throw glass in the forest, You can’t break bottles; Sharp fragments are dangerous - you will cut yourself terribly on them!
And if you suddenly fall on them, you could end up in the hospital! And the forest inhabitants don’t need Glasses either...
The trees stand like giants. The hooligans don’t spare them And they cut them with sharp knives. The words on the tree are “as a keepsake!”
But it’s such a cruel thing to do! You can't harm trees. Let them grow in the forest - bring goodness and beauty...
If you are going to pick mushrooms, take a sharp knife with you; Carefully cut off the mushroom with them - leave the mycelium in the ground.
And if you come across strawberries, a lingonberry or blueberry bush, gently pick the berries, but leave the bush, take care of it.
There are a lot of different mushrooms in the forest... Don't touch the inedible ones! Don’t put them in a basket, But don’t knock them down either... Forest animals need them: Foxes, hedgehogs, hares...
Only people don’t eat them: There’s poison in toadstools and fly agarics! But for forest animals, that mushroom is still useful and good.
Don’t offend the snake And when you see it, don’t grab the stick, Don’t wave your arms, don’t shout - Just step away and be quiet...
Although snakes are dangerous, they are necessary: They must preserve cleanliness; Don’t do harm or harm to the forest and water orderlies...
With the onset of the summer season, many people begin to go to the forest to pick mushrooms and berries. Very often, during such walks, parents are accompanied by children who, due to a certain lack of awareness, do not understand how to behave correctly in the forest. Improper behavior in a forest can cause an emergency, such as a fire.
In addition, a child can get lost and get lost, so before you go on such a walk with him, you should definitely give an introductory briefing on the topic “rules of behavior in the forest for children in the summer.”
A reminder about the rules of safe behavior in the forest for children
To ensure that a dangerous situation does not arise as a result of visiting a forest area, the child must follow certain rules, namely:
- Children of any age should go to the forest exclusively with adults. Independent walks through the forest area are not permitted under any circumstances.
- While in the forest, you should not go deep into the thicket. It is imperative to keep a trail or other landmarks in sight - a railroad, a gas pipeline, a high-voltage power line, a road for cars, and so on.
- You should always have a compass, a bottle of water, a mobile phone with sufficient battery power, a knife, matches and a minimum set of food items with you.
- Before entering a forest, you should definitely look at the compass to know which side of the world you are entering from. If this device is in the hands of a child, parents should make sure that he knows how to use it.
- If a child falls behind the adults accompanying him and gets lost, he should remain in place and scream as loudly as possible. At the same time, during the walk itself, you should behave as quietly as possible, so that if danger arises, no one doubts what exactly happened.
- While in the forest, you should not throw any burning objects on the ground. In the event of a fire, you should run away from the forest area as quickly as possible, trying to move in the direction from which the wind is blowing.
- Finally, children should not put any unfamiliar berries or mushrooms in their mouths.
All these recommendations must be conveyed to the child from a very early age. Remember that the forest is a place of increased danger, in which it is very easy to get lost, but at the same time very difficult to get out. While in the forest with your son or daughter, try not to take your eyes off him, and if the offspring disappears from your field of vision, immediately call him in a loud voice.

Responsibility for non-compliance with the rules of behavior in nature
There is a fairly simple law at work here. It states that ignorance is no excuse. Thus, everyone is personally responsible, even if they did not know how to behave in nature. There is a fine for some actions. Illegal poaching, for example, is criminalized. The penalty is a fine of 500,000 rubles, or two years in prison. The same punishment applies for illegal logging.
A better way to get acquainted with the rules of behavior in nature are pictures that contain a fairly general picture for all types of violations. From the video you will learn what you need to take with you into nature so as not to disturb the fragile ecosystem.
