Hey there, little friend! Today, we’re going to learn about something super cool called recycling. Recycling is like giving old things a new life. Are you ready to help us? Let’s go!
We can recycle lots of things, but not everything. Here are some things we can recycle:
Remember, these things go in the recycling bin, not the trash bin!
Let’s play a fun game! We need to sort some trash. Can you help us?
Where should we put this plastic water bottle? In the trash bin or the recycling bin? That’s right! It goes in the recycling bin because it’s made of plastic.
What about this apple core? Can we recycle it? Nope! Food like apple cores goes in the trash bin. Good job!
Do you know where this soda can goes? Yes, you’re so smart! We can recycle metal cans, so it goes in the recycling bin.
Recycling helps keep our planet clean and happy. When we recycle, we use old things to make new things, and that helps save our beautiful Earth!
Thanks for helping us learn about recycling today. You’re a recycling superstar!
Recycling Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find items that can be recycled. Look for things like empty cereal boxes, plastic bottles, or old newspapers. Once you’ve found some items, sort them into different piles for glass, metal, plastic, and paper. Talk about why each item can be recycled and how it helps the Earth.
Create a Recycling Poster: Use your creativity to make a colorful poster that shows what items can be recycled. Draw pictures or cut out images from magazines to show glass, metal, plastic, and paper items. Hang your poster in a place where everyone can see it to remind them to recycle!
Recycling Story Time: Imagine you are a piece of trash that wants to be recycled. What kind of item are you? Write a short story or draw a picture about your journey from the recycling bin to becoming something new. Share your story with your friends or family and talk about how recycling gives things a new life.
