- Recycling game: There are really many games about recycling that can be found on the internet, in this case this game is about putting bags of various colors (preferably the colors used worldwide for recycling) and then telling them to put products of each material (paper, plastic , cardboard, organic, etc.) in each color.
- Create and recycle: In this case, the dynamic is to create useful objects with the help of recyclable materials, these can be sheets of paper that have been printed with information that is no longer relevant, with clean plastic bottles, cardboard and any other material that does not have an important use. at home.
There are many useful objects that are made by people around the world with recycled objects, inspiration can be found by researching about it, but the creativity will belong to the children.
- Exploration: This activity is about going out to any landscape where you can find garbage or polluting objects and clean them, many organizations do this activity on beaches together with many people, also a movement that went viral on social networks showed people arriving at places in cities , beaches, etc completely dirty and then photos of the same place appeared after a cleaning.
This can be done by people at home in the same way, with the necessary precaution so that children do not get hurt by glass or get dirty. The dynamic is to find garbage and put it in bags to clean the space. Field trips can also be made to reforest those damaged spaces or plant trees in green areas.
- Vegan breakfast, lunch or dinner: This is not a game as such but a meal that the parents will make with completely vegan products, the creativity to assemble the dishes is totally up to the parents but the recipes can be found anywhere.
A vegan meal considerably reduces the environmental impact that human beings have on a daily basis, using local or ecological products they are taught that they are healthier and more harmful than other products.
- Environment Museum: Something that is recommended to people is to attend events that are carried out with ecological or scientific themes, in order to learn a little more about the world and how to take care of it. But just as it is possible to go out to see conferences, museums or events anywhere, it is also possible to create a museum at home with the children.
In this case, they will be instructed to choose a topic about nature (it can be recycling, pollution, the most beautiful landscapes and how to take care of them, etc.) or an animal that they like (that are Endangered animals in the world or that they are not in danger) and explain to other children how to take care of nature or how to take care of these animals so that they do not become extinct and so that they continue helping nature themselves.
To make it more dynamic, you can decorate the room as if it were a museum and they can dress as explorers who arrived and work in that museum. Creativity in each game is essential to make them more fun.
