Geocaching holds an appeal to teachers and students. It offers a wide variety of physical, social and
educational benefits. It goes without saying that geocaching makes its participants physically active.
Geocaches are used as a form of point-to-point racing. What distinguishes geocaching from other races is its
self-pace. It caters individual needs of physical activity and fitness. Participants can start slowly for
geocaches within short distances before moving to next levels with cache sites over longer distances.
Varying the environment in which caches are hunted is an excellent way to build and maintain motivation.
The sense of achievement and adventure in finding a geocache also brings psychological benefits. Keeping
fit by geocaching is of endless interest thanks to its variations in locations, distances and intensity.
Additionally, geocaching offers the camaraderie that comes with belonging and being part of a group with
common interests. There are now online communities of geocachers who are more than willing to discuss
and exchange their geocaching stories. Such communities also organise local events to socialise and talk
about their interests. Well designed, geocaching encourages group problem solving and fosters improved
group communication. In terms of education, the benefits of geocaching simply know no bounds. It offers
an ideal tool to enrich students’ knowledge, arouse their interest and curiosity and combine learning with
physical exercise. A well- planned geocaching activity in a historical site exploits students’ foreknowledge
and urges them to explore new information. Above all, it naturally integrates soft skills into an academic
lesson. All in all, geocaching is an excellent tool for educators and students.
