READINESS PHASE

Pie of My Day

A. Explain to the students that a day is spent into three things: existence time (biological needs
such as eating, sleeping), subsistence time (economic needs: work, chores, study, and free
time (what remains). Ask the students an estimate of how their day is spent.

1. How many hours of your day are spent on existence time?

2. How many hours of your day are spent on subsistence time?
3. How many hours are left as your free time?
4. With your free time, what do you usually do? Answer may vary from watching TV,
social media such as Facebook, Instagram, etc., hanging out with friends, movie
going, or playing basketball.

B. On a day to day basis, perhaps, we all have limited free time or worst for some almost no
free time at all. However we all have longer breaks during the semestral break summer,
Christmas break or long weekends. During those occasions, how do your students spend
their free time? Ask the students:

1. Have you and your family or perhaps friends ever gone somewhere out of town or
somewhere nearby?
2. Where did you go?
3. What activities did you engage in?

C. Ask the students preferably everyone. Prior to the student giving an answer, make two
columns on the board (Labeled A and B). (Do not yet disclose the proper labels to the
students). Column A will be the outdoor recreation activity and Column B will be indoor
recreation activity or otherwise.

D. When students answer, write the answers of the students to the correct column without
saying or explaining anything to them .

For Example:

Student A: “We went to the beach” (Beach is outdoors with nature, so write “swimming – beach“
in Column A.)

Student B: “We went to a resort and swimming pool and we also swam.” (Swimming in the pool is
also outdoors but is man-made, not with nature, so write it under Column B – “swimming pool –
swimming.”)

E. Be guided by the definitions of outdoor recreation with emphasis on the concept of an activity
done with nature.

Discussion

Outdoor Recreations are organized activities done during free time for the students’ own
personal reasons, where an interaction between man and an element of nature is present.

 Free time refers to the time remaining after existence time (time spent for biological needs
such as sleeping, easting, etc.) and subsistence time (time spent for economic purposes such
as work, chores at home, school and school work). How one decided to spend free time varies
from person to person

 Choices for recreation are individually and voluntarily done. What makes one happy may not
be true for others. Therefore, recreation activities depend on one’s interests, pursuits and
needs which may be reflective on one’s beliefs.

Example of Outdoor Recreation Activities:

1. Surfing
2. Canoeing
3. Kayaking
4. Sailing
5. Snorkeling/ Swimming
6. Scuba Diving/ Swimming
7. Hiking
8. Trekking
9. Camping
10. Orienteering
11. Picnic at park and Nature Photography
12. Canyoning
13. Rock climbing
14. Mountaing Biking/ Mountaineering

 The outdoors in a broad sense is a place outside an enclosed space such as buildings or
shelters. Narrowing it down, the outdoor as we use it in this discussion

includes our natural environment and natural resources which are the land, water, wildlife,
vegetation, open space, and scenery.

 It may be in its most natural state or “semi-natural’’ state, a state where it had gone through
some modification by man but has retained its natural features like natural parks.

 Interaction of man and nature is how outdoor recreation differs from other activities – the
element of nature.

Moreover, outdoor recreation does not have formal rules and is not competitive in nature which
makes it different from outdoor sports.

Reasons for engaging in outdoor recreation vary from person to person. Reasons include personal
satisfaction and enjoyment, personal pursuits such as photography, conquering mountain peaks, attaining
fitness level, and environmental education, such as bird watching and plant naming, among others.
Whatever reason there may be, people engage in outdoor recreation activity for their own sake and
pleasure, voluntarily, and of their own choice.

Outdoor recreation has positive effects on the general wellness of an individual, most especially of it
is done with regularity. When we talk about wellness, it encompasses the general state of person
physically, socially, economically, psycho-emotionally, and spiritually and in the end contributes to a
better quality life.

Outdoor recreation involves a lot of physical activity, but one does not need to have athletic level of
skills and fitness to be able to participate. However, one needs to be physically fit to be able to carry out
the activity.

QUIZ. True or False. Directions: Write True if the statement is correct, otherwise write
False.

1. Outdoor recreation involves a lot of physical activity, but one does

not need to have athletic level of skills and fitness to be
able to participate. However, one needs to be physically fit to be
able to carry out the activity.
2. Outdoor recreation has negative effects on the general wellness of
an individual, most especially of it is done with

person.
5. Outdoor Recreations are organized activities done during

an interaction between man and an element of nature is present.

EXPERIENTIAL PHRASE

Use the indirect or inductive approach in defining the concept of outdoor recreation.

defining outdoor recreation.
B. Read through the answers in Column A and those in Column B.

Encourage them to think what could be common in Column A. that makes it different from
Column B.
D. Bear in mind the main concepts that are within the definition of outdoor recreation such that
when a student mentions a word relating to the concept, acknowledge the response and write
the word on one part of the board.
E. Encourage the students to think how they can label answers in Column A and in Column B;
give clues until the word “outdoor recreation” is extracted from students or if the term is
totally new to students, give the label for the columns.
F. Using all the words and concepts stated by the students earlier, ask them to define what
outdoor recreation is:

 done outdoors
 done during free time
 in a natural setting (or semi-natural such that some man-made alteration where
made, e.g., natural park where there are cemented path walk, tables)
