I find I skim over Earth day and this past year I finally got frustrated with myself and sat down and designed a few games for the kids so that by playing all the games, my students would really learn about reduce, reuse, and recycle.  At our school we have different bins for recycling but the kids seem to have some confusion what goes where.  I found after my students played these games for about 2 weeks, they really knew what things were recyclable and what items they could reuse again.  And I found the kids asking each other instead of me and that was just awesome to see!!!  I did save the games for Earth Day but I think this year I will get the kids to play it at the beginning of the year(because shouldn't every day be Earth Day?) so it will help them learn about recycling and in turn help recycle properly at our school.   So this package includes 4 different Earth Day games the students can play during centre time or just on their own after learning about Earth
