Our weekly themes
To help you plan your 30 Days Wild adventure, we’ve come up with some weekly themes. But if you’ve got a better idea, then you don’t have to stick to the rules! You can make 30 Days Wild your own.
You might want to complete one activity a day, or one a week. You might want to have a go at all the themes or stick to just one. It’s really up to you (and your grown-ups, of course)! Keep a look out because we'll be adding special webpages very soon to help you plan your weekly activities!
