Trail Tales
Trail Tales is a Nebraska-specific magazine produced for Nebraska’s 4th grade classrooms.
Across the state, fourth grade students receive four Trail Tales issues each school year – fall, winter, spring, and summer.
Each issue of Trail Tales focuses on Nebraska’s wildlife species; science concepts, such as food webs, animal adaptations, habitats and ecosystems; and outdoor sports. Each issue also has puzzles, games and tons of full-color photos.
Trail Tales is published by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and Nebraskaland Magazine.
Receive Trail Tales for your classroom
Any fourth grade teacher in the state of Nebraska is eligible to receive a complimentary year of Trail Tales for each student in his or her classroom. All four issues of Trail Tales are now mailed in the fall at the start of the school year. In addition to the four issues (one for each student), you will also receive a Teacher’s Guide that highlights each article in the four issues and has suggestions for classroom activities to complement each article. The Teacher’s Guide also contains a guide to what’s happening in nature – feel free to make copies of this for each of your students!
