Om kinderen uit zichzelf te laten genieten van wandelen, moet het pad spannend zijn, want kinderen wandelen en leren het beste door te spelen. Soms is er alleen een speelse stimulans of een wedstrijd tussen kinderen nodig, bijvoorbeeld een wandeling op blote voeten, of een mystiek pad naar een waterval in het bos, waar de kinderen kunnen spelen en hun omgeving met hun eigen, kinderlijke, onderzoekende ogen kunnen waarnemen.
