creative ideas or projects for making children understand going green.?
Ok my theme for my 8 week childrens summer program is sort of “going green”. I would like to incorporate taking care of the environment in general, energy effiecency, natural rescourcesfuel alternatives. I would like to incorporate the following: appriciating nature, outdoor safety, camping, wildlife conservation, animal/plant identification, sun safety, basic first aid for kids.
I am looking for project, topic and feild trip ideas and any other ideas you have, If you have a theme title suggestion, throw it at me, as i am having trouble thinking of a title to tie it all together.
we live in a very rural community in kentucky about an hour from both louisville and lexington. we do not have as many earth friendly programs here as i would like to exhibit to the children but i want to expose them to as much as possible so that they realize what is really going on with the world around us.
any help you can offer would be great.
A great way to get kids into the GREEN living, is to have the start recycling cans, plastic and any other paper. Explain to them what each aluminum can could make, what recycled paper can be made into. Reuse as much as you can on camping trips, take metal plates to wash instead of using paper plates, use dead wood for the camp fire and explain why you use it, etc. Camping is a great way to expose children to the great world of nature. As you are in the woods, alot of things will come to you about GREEN, just by being in the great outdoors.
Good luck
