EARTH DAY ACTIVITIES (2018-19)

1. Hunt for the Treasure (To be done in groups) : Divide your class in groups of 7-8
participants in each and ask them to bring an eco-friendly empty bag to collect the items.
Fastest group with maximum number of items collected will be the winner.

Scavenger hunts are a terrific way to get kids engaged in what they are learning. Children
love the challenge of finding everything on the list, and when you are done, you can discuss
what they have found and which items were particularly difficult or easy and why. Here is a
fun scavenger hunt to use for Earth Day.
