Sustainability and environmental care course

Constance (Germany)

As an implementation of the training carried out on "sustainability and care for the environment", and taking into account the limitations of our students due to their young age (students aged 4 and 5), we have decided to make an association game about the human actions and their consequences on the environment.

On the one hand, we will see actions that can have a negative influence on our planet, looking for solutions and what we can do to avoid them. Thus, for example, we will see images where water is misused: bathtub leaking, taps open while brushing teeth, to associate it with images of areas suffering from drought and, finally, we associate it with images of children. taking a shower, brushing his teeth with a glass…

The main objective of this game is for children to become aware of the problems our planet is suffering and how our actions can positively or negatively influence them. For this, we have also used photos of the students themselves: planting, watering the school plants, in outings made to the environment,...; as a way to involve them and to make them understand that they can also contribute their grain of sand

Another important aspect of this game is the possibility that it offers us to expand it as the students mature and discover new possibilities.
