WHAT EXACTLY IS NATURE NINJAS?
Nature has been training ninjas for millions of years. Now it's the kids' turn!
In the natural world, survival takes some extraordinary skills.
Animals hide in plain sight, track down food, build clever shelters, navigate enormous distances and solve problems in ways that would put even the most skilled human ninja to shame.
Nature Ninjas invites children to discover some of these incredible abilities and put their own observation, creativity and problem-solving skills to the test.
Through a series of playful missions and challenges, learners will discover fascinating things about the natural world around them, while having plenty of opportunities to get moving, investigate, compete and work together.
It's a day of adventure with a little learning cleverly woven in!
Two versions. Different ages. Plenty of adventure.
GRADES 0–3
Junior Nature Ninjas
Designed for younger learners, with accessible challenges that encourage observation, imagination, movement and hands-on discovery.
GRADES 4–7
Senior Nature Ninjas
More advanced missions that put learners' powers of observation, reasoning, teamwork and problem-solving to the test.
Both versions are designed to make the natural world something children want to explore, rather than just another topic they're expected to learn about.

THE PARTNERSHIP
Why SFC-SA and ReGrounded?
Nature Ninjas is a collaboration between SFC-SA and ReGrounded, bringing together a shared interest in giving children more opportunities to engage with the world beyond screens.
SFC-SA advocates for healthier, more balanced relationships with technology, while ReGrounded helps parents and educators nurture children's curiosity about, care for and connection to the natural world.
Nature Ninjas brings these ideas together in a simple, practical way.
Because if we want children to spend less time on screens, it helps to give them genuinely good alternatives.
And nature offers an enormous playground for that: things to find, follow, build with, investigate and wonder about, without needing expensive equipment or special facilities.
