Homeschooling our children means we need to teach Physical Education ie PE and its w good way to get our children up and moving without phones or electronics. Would you want to join us on our Field Trip this weekend?
HOW LABYRINTHS WORK
There not a maze, but a singular, pathway, often on stone floors, that snakes back and forth to a central spiral or rosette. Which leads us back out again following the same route. Here is a fun tip for you: Labyrinths have ancient roots that date back thousands of years to Greek Mythology.
If you would like to check out Mazes and Labyrinths then you should check out labyrinthlocator.com find Labyrinths in the North Texas area. Type in your zip code and your preferred search radius to find the ones nearest you.
The Ruben L.F. Habito Labyrinth
The Habito Labyrinth—a seven-circuit design, based on the eleven-circuit medieval labyrinth in France’s Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres—is located in the Frost Marcus Labyrinth Courtyard Gardens, in the open and accessible space between Prothro and Selecman Halls at Perkins School of Theology. The path of the labyrinth is about one-third of a mile long and takes about 20 minutes to walk at a moderate pace.
The labyrinth is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to anyone who seeks to walk the path toward peace
Mazes:
Amazing Secret Garden
Amazing Secret Garden is one of the most kid-friendly mazes in Dallas-Fort Worth hidden away among the dozens of attractions inside the Dallas Arboretum Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden. The Amazing Secret Garden is a circular maze designed with tall hedges that feel much like that scene in Alice in Wonderland, but you’ve got a lot more tools—like whisper tubes and dance chimes—to help find your way. Be sure to read the cardinal directions and look through periscopes to see above the hedge maze. One landmark to remember: the Castle’s flag in the middle of the garden.
Thanks to changeable panels, some of the pathways may even alter during your exploration, but rest assured parents, there’s only one way in and out, so you don’t have to worry about actually losing your kid.
For an even greater Maze challenge, tackle the Cowtown Cattlepen Maze at the Fort Worth Stockyards. 5,400-square-foot attraction at the far East corner, just beyond the tracks to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad and beside Stockyards Barnyard Petting Corral. With its Sun-bleached wooden panels, you can imagine the hundreds of Steers that ran through cattle chutes much like these during the days of the Chisholm trail.
At the admission booth (only $6 for age 3 and up), everyone gets a punch card stamped with your entry time. This one’s timed to up the fun factor and try to beat the completion times posted on the leader board. Along the paths, be on the lookout for the letters M, A, Z and E and punch your card at each check point.
Thank you,
