Annotation. In today's world, there is little that can interest children in learning about the world around them. They are used to spending a lot of time in their gadgets. Namely, the school was created in order to develop children's abilities, skills and outlook. Fortunately, we have such an event as an excursion. Thanks to them, we can show students the world around as it is; just a walk near the school or a trip to the forest to show the beauty of this world, and most importantly - of their native land, and encourage them to love the Motherland. The goal of the bachelor thesis is to develop an educational excursion that combines knowledge of the native land and motivates to preserve nature. In the process of research, the main approaches to defining the concept of "excursion", the functions and methodical stages of the educational excursion were analyzed. Materials on the natural conditions of the Ponornytsk OTG and the Mezyn National Nature Park itself have also been developed. The next stage was the development of the author's excursion "Paths of Mezyn Park". 7 display objects were selected for the event. To learn the excursion material, a mini-game "Field of Miracles" was developed and a homework assignment was offered: creating a wall-newspaper "Vegetation of Mezyn Park".
