FREE Activities for Celebrating Earth Day on April 22

 Let's celebrate Mother Earth! 


Help students be more aware of taking care of our planet by starting with a history of Earth day at Earthday.org

Another great website is Earth Day EPA at https://www.epa.gov/earthday

Both websites offer students opportunities to learn more about how Earth Day began and how to join campaigns for saving our planet. 

One great activity is to have students bring a plain white t-shirt then design their own Earth Day logos using fabric paints or markers. Be sure to wear and display your Earth Day shirts proudly! 

Another way to celebrate Earth Day is with these fun handouts from Educator Helper AUL Storefront or Educator Helper TpT Storefront:

Make an Earth Day Timeline:





Get discussions started with AUL Earth Day Debates or TPT Earth Day Debates:





Make an Earth Day poetry book:







For early learners, try Earth Day coloring sheets:









Other Earth Day activities:


Helping students celebrate Earth Day should be fun, so let Educator Helper AUL or Educator Helper TPT do the work for you!

Happy Earth Day!
