End-of-Term Eco Activities

As we approach the summer holidays we thought we’d give the wonderful teachers involved in Clothes for a Cause a few ideas for their closing week classes using our favourite theme: The Environment. 
Included are quizzes and games to occupy, delight and educate your young pupils, and other activities that may help end the school year on a high!

Especially for our Primary Schools:

• To end the term on a colourful note we have a rather fab colouring-in sheet for your younger years!
• For the junior ages we have a lovely renewable energy wordsearch, and a '3 Rs' crossword on 'reduce, reuse & recycle'.  
• Why not encourage everybody to make their own instruments out of potential waste? 
• Or how about practising and performing a class or whole school play based on recycling- this could make a great end of year assembly! Lots of ideas can be found on the worksheets linked.
• What about a simple collage? Get every class involved with making their own green-themed collage and display them all at the end of the year!

Secondary School Fun: Something they can get their teeth into! 

• Print out this sudoku quiz and wordsearch on energy for your lower year pupils,
• Or if you fancy challenging the older ones why not have form groups take part in this brilliant interactive eco quiz on powerpoint? 

Other great activities that can be enjoyed at any age include:

Pond Dipping/Bug Watching - If you have a nature area on your school grounds then why not take your pupils out for some exploring? Bring out the David Attenborough in your pupils whilst making it fun and educational - who can collect the largest number of creepy crawlies, or test their knowledge on different species. Nature is always at its best in beautiful weather! 

Energy Conservation - A great "homework" task you can set your class can be found on this energy conservation worksheet. Send pupils home for the summer holidays with a project to monitor and conserve their energy useage- it's a simple and fun way to learn about the issue of waste and consumption and could also save parents a few bob!

Whatever you choose to do in your closing week: KEEP IT GREEN!
