Earth Day–time to raise awareness about the importance of continually caring for our Planet’s resources. Inside our blog you will find affordable & educational tools, gifts & incentives for helping your school & community celebrate Earth Day every day!
Get students to think about the precious resource of water by holding an essay contest with a water theme. Challenge the youngsters to write about where the water they drink comes from, ways water is wasted, and how it can be conserved. Give a “Make Every Day Earth Day” Tag With Chain to each student who completes an essay; use Organic Cotton T-Shirts as prizes for the best essays.
Ask youngsters to brainstorm things they personally can do to care for the Earth. Have each person choose one activity and write it on a paper cutout of a leaf. Round up discarded tree branches; arrange them sticking out of a container to resemble a tree, then attach the paper leaves. When you unveil your creation, give students “I Heart The Earth” Clip-On Backpack Pledge Cards to sign and keep.
Take your Earth Day message into the streets. First, help students create signs with environmental slogans on them, such as “Go Green!” Tape a ruler to each sign to make a handle. Then distribute “Plant The Seeds Of Earth Care” Seeded Paper Bracelets for the students to wear. Lead everyone outside to march around the neighborhood, waving the signs.
