The sample of participants for this study consisted of school children. 151 of them, with a chronological age of i 4. from South-East Serbia (Knjaževac, Zaječar and Niš), who completed a questionnaire consisting of 12 items. Statistical procedures were used which suit the requirements of the study: the t-test and an analysis of variance. Differences were determined in the responses in terms of gender, but also in terms of the cities in which the school children reside. By means of analysis and the feedback received on extracurricular outdoor activities, it is possible, on the basis of the obtained results of the survey of their effects, to determine quality and any further need for their organization, to form concrete suggestions and to build models which satisfy the actual needs of elementary school students.
