Go on a Recycle Scavenger Hunt
Go on a Recycle Scavenger Hunt
This scavenger hunt requires children to find recyclable items. Make a list of all the recyclable items that the players have to find. You can even assign a time limit for the task. 30 minutes would be more than enough.
Alternatively, children can go through a pile of recyclable items and ask them to get one of each item. It won’t just educate them on the what can be recycled, but will also make them consider things that may not have actually been recyclable.
The player who manages to get the most number of recycled items will win.
Looking through these pictures, what do you see? What items could you recycle to create a new piece of art or a new device to make it easier to do something else? Example: I'm always loosing my remote control for my tv, could I used a plastic bag, old shoe lace, potato bag ex. to create string to tie to it so that it stays in one place? I challenge you while at home to look around your house, in your trash, and outside to create your best masterpiece. When your masterpiece is done send me a picture so we can add it to our site and have other students guess what you used to make your masterpiece or invention.
