Hey there! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about recycling. Do you know what recycling is? It’s when we take old things and make them into something new! Let’s see what we have here to sort.
We have an eggshell, an empty glass bottle, an old magazine, a plastic bag, and a metal can. Can you help us figure out where each item should go?
Let’s think about it! We can recycle some things like glass, metal, plastic, and paper. That means we can put the glass bottle, the metal can, the plastic bag, and the old magazine into the recycling bin. Isn’t that cool?
Hmm, can we recycle food like the eggshell? No, we can’t. The eggshell goes into the trash bin. But that’s okay because we did a great job sorting the other items!
Recycling helps keep our planet clean and happy. When we recycle, we use less energy and make less trash. That means more room for fun things like playing outside!
Now that you know how to recycle, you can help at home too. Look around and see what you can recycle. Remember, recycling is like a superpower for helping the Earth!
Great job, little recycler! Keep up the good work!
Recycling Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find items that can be recycled. Look for things like paper, plastic bottles, and cans. Once you’ve collected a few items, sort them into different piles based on what they are made of. Talk about why each item can be recycled and what new things they might become!
Create a Recycling Craft: Use some of the recyclable materials you found to make a fun craft. For example, you can turn a plastic bottle into a flower pot or a can into a pencil holder. Use your imagination and see what new things you can create from old items. Share your creation with your friends and family and explain how you reused materials.
Recycling Story Time: Imagine you are a superhero whose power is recycling! Draw a picture of yourself in your superhero costume and write a short story about how you help the Earth by recycling. What adventures do you go on? How do you teach others to recycle? Share your story with the class and inspire others to become recycling superheroes too!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Let’s keep going! We have an eggshell, an empty glass bottle, an old magazine, a plastic bag, and a metal can. Can you help us sort them? We will give you some time to think, but if you need more time, you can pause the video and answer when you are ready.
