Rainy day backup? Use the two teacher resource card pages indoors. Cut out the pictures, hide them around the classroom, and let students search and match them to the checklist. For pre-k and kindergarten, keep lists short and use picture prompts or the Earth Day flashcards. For first grade and 2nd grade, add the A–Z page and quick writing about recycling activities for kids or earth day poster ideas. This resource also pairs well with a mini talk on protecting our planet. 🌿
