How Biggo Blocks Enhance Outdoor Learning for Classrooms

First off, hats off to you. Teaching is no joke, and if anyone deserves a gold medal (and a nap), it’s educators. In honor of National Teachers Day, we’re celebrating all the creative, patient, endlessly inspiring teachers out there—especially the ones who know that learning doesn’t have to stay inside four walls.

Now let’s talk about taking your classroom outdoors—and how Biggo Blocks can help you make outdoor learning more engaging, active, and just plain awesome.

Why Take Learning Outside?

Let’s be real. Kids weren’t built to sit still all day. Getting them outside isn’t just about burning energy—it boosts focus, supports mental health, and makes learning feel like an adventure. Add jumbo building blocks from Biggo Blocks into the mix and suddenly you’ve got a hands-on, full-body learning experience.

Biggo Blocks aren’t just for stacking—they’re for building STEM skills, teamwork, creativity, and confidence. And when used outside? Total game-changer.

Outdoor STEM Meets Jumbo Blocks

Science, tech, engineering, and math? Sounds intense, but with extra large building blocks, it becomes a playground of discovery. Try this:

Nature Towers: Challenge students to build the tallest, most stable tower on uneven ground. Then test wind resistance using cardboard “fans” or nature’s own breeze.
Block Measuring: Use blocks to measure trees, distance between garden plots, or how far a ball rolls across different surfaces. Real-world math = real engagement.
Engineering Challenges: Can your class build a bridge that spans between two logs? A shelter for stuffed animals that survives a “rainstorm” (aka a watering can)? Let them test, redesign, and try again—just like real engineers.

Group Projects That Build More Than Structures

Outdoor learning is the perfect setup for group projects—and Biggo Blocks make it easy for students to work together, communicate, and problem-solve.

Here are a few ideas:

Obstacle Course Builds: Let students build tunnels, balance beams (with adult supervision!), or stations for a class-wide fitness course.
Outdoor Theaters: Use Biggo Blocks to build a stage for puppet shows or short plays. Have students write scripts based on what they’re learning.
Eco Zones: Create pretend gardens, animal habitats, or block-based recycling centers that get kids talking about the environment.

Team Challenges That Actually Feel Like Play

Looking for a team-building activity that doesn’t feel forced? Set up block-based challenges!

Block Relay: In teams, students race to transport blocks across the yard and build a mystery shape.
Mystery Builds: Give groups a picture or description of something to build—without telling them what it is. When they’re done, the class guesses!
Timed Creations: 10 minutes. One set of Biggo Blocks. Unlimited imagination. Go.

Tips for Teachers Using Biggo Blocks Outdoors

Lay Down a Base: Use foam mats or tarps to give students a base to build on—especially helpful on dirt or grass.
Store Smart: Biggo Blocks are weather-resistant, but you’ll want a big storage bin or covered cart for easy cleanup.
Pair With Nature: Encourage kids to mix in leaves, rocks, or sticks in their builds (as long as it’s safe and class-approved).

Let Kids Learn Loud

Outdoor learning doesn’t have to mean a scavenger hunt and a clipboard. With Biggo Blocks, you can turn the schoolyard into a lab, a stage, a design studio, and a playground—all at once.

Teachers, you’ve already got the magic. Biggo Blocks are just here to help you make learning bigger, bolder, and a whole lot more fun.
