Nature Activity- The Classic Nature Game: Conkers

As a child the end of summer and the start of autumn was always marked by the endless foraging for conkers. All the children in our community knew where to find the best Horse Chestnut trees and there were many legendary tales about which trees produced the best conkers.

September and October days and evenings were always spent playing 'conkers' with everybody trying to have the champion conker of the season. 

However, it's rare that we see this game being played anymore....so we wanted to share a 'how to' and bring this classic game back into the lives of children.
