Hi everyone! I’m currently helping lead a small environmental awareness project at a public elementary school and nearby park in northern Mexico. As part of this, we’re organizing a tree planting activity with kids aged 6 to 13, and we’d love to make it fun, memorable, and meaningful.
One idea we’re already planning is this:
👉 After planting several trees, we’ll invite all the children to “adopt” one special tree and give it a name together. That one tree will represent the whole school’s commitment to caring for the environment, and they’ll help water and take care of it over time.
We’re also thinking of running a quick “clean-up race” where kids get small prizes if they pick up recyclable trash (bottles, cans, wrappers) and bring it to a bin.
💡 Do you have any ideas for fun, educational, and simple environmental activities or games we could do with kids this age?
We don’t have a big budget, but we can give small prizes like stickers, fruit, or little notebooks.
Can activities include some symbolic gestures? Emotional connection to nature? Hands-on tasks?
Would love to hear what’s worked for others or what you’d love to see in a school setting. Thanks in advance for your creativity and experience!
