Play a Recycle Game

Make it a fun activity for the group. This is especially fun if you have a few kids together. Split the kids into teams or have the children play on their own. Give them a pile of mixed recycled goods: plastics, paper, aluminum cans, or anything else that is safe for a child to toss. Near each team, set up 3 bins labeled “paper,” “plastic” and “aluminum.” On the count of three, see which team can sort the pile into the appropriate bins first! Whoever wins gets an Earth Day surprise (special fruit/cookie/reuseable bag, etc…).
