Born Learning Trails


Bienvendido al camino de Born Learning Trail. You will also see two men raking in the background.We know children are not entering school with the skills needed to succeed. That's why we support initiatives like Born Learning Trails.

Born Learning Trails give parents and their children opportunities to engage in fun, physical learning activities in any outdoor or indoor setting: trails, parks, schoolyards, museums, libraries. The interactive trail contains signs with instructions for simple games that prompt any adult into turning an everyday moment into a learning opportunity. 

Did you know? Children who aren't reading on grade level by third grade are four times less likely to graduate from high school.


Prompts include:

  • Think of words or names that start with A, B, or C.
  • Tell stories about yourself or your family. Begin with, "When I was little..."
  • Pretend to move like an animal. Walk like a duck or hop like a frog.
