Stories and pebble games [at the start of the school].

The activity will take place in two stages:
1 - A short walk punctuated by stops to observe the rocks and listen to their story: cliffs, angular boulders, rounded pebbles... where do they come from? How do they move? Why do they have these different shapes? Students will then play games to piece together the story.
2 - Fun workshops, in small groups (one adult per group required): build the tallest pile of pebbles; reconstruct a miniature river using pebbles and other natural elements; paint a piece of history on a pebble.

The activity can be postponed in case of bad weather, or it can be carried out under a large, sheltered shelter (in this case, no walk, just stories and workshops).
The activity can start from the school, if there's a nearby area with rocks (a quarry or former river deposit), a small river and a viewpoint over a cliff.
What to bring: shoes and clothing suited to walking and weather conditions (sneakers, boots).
