Grass

The participants (children, youth and active adults) will lie down on the grass, preferably on a slope. With bodies stiff as logs, and arms extended above their heads, they begin to roll down the slope. They can stop at the desired time. It can be done in an urban or rural environment, as long as the grass does not contain stones or other harmful objects.

Participants (children, youth and active adults) lie face down on the grass. They are looking for a blade of grass. They learn to whistle with this sheet or another.

Participants select a space of their own in an area of the lawn and mark it with a ribbon or string, about one foot in diameter in a circle or any geometric figure of their choice. They lie down to closely observe only what they find in this area. They are then provided with a magnifying glass or rolled up paper to take a closer look at the world beneath their feet.

Having observed the miniature things in God's creation, they pause. Cease your efforts to observe the natural. They are placed in a comfortable position, even in the midst of God's creation, and are invited to contemplate the supernatural and to list the little things that God has placed in their lives, however small they may be. After a time of silence, you are invited to walk on the lawn or field you have just explored. In awe and gratitude to God for this world beneath your feet, you pray aloud.

The “run and collect” (known as plogging in Sweden) is a new sporting modality, which unites the practice of sport with love for the environment: it is about going for a run and picking up the waste that one comes across along the way. The term is the result of the fusion of the popular English word 'running' and the Swedish expression 'plocka upp', which means to pick up."(Palou, 2018) It is modified a bit "plogging" as everyone stands in a straight line, side by side. They are going to walk the entire field, always keeping in a straight line and picking up any trash they find along the way.
