As Earth Day approaches, it’s the perfect time to engage children in fun and educational activities that highlight the importance of environmental conservation. It’s a time for reflection, education, and action, and what better way to engage children in this important cause than through fun and educational activities? We’ve crafted a fun ‘Spinner Wheel’ worksheet activity that blends creativity with education. This hands-on project not only sparks kids’ imagination but also helps them understand the significance of preserving our planet.
The Earth Day Spinning Wheel Craft Worksheet combines creativity with learning by allowing children to create a spinning wheel adorned with eco-friendly actions and messages. While crafting the spinning wheel, take the opportunity to discuss the significance of each action depicted on the wheel.
Here’s a step-by-step guide for creating your own Earth Day Spinner Wheel:
- Download the worksheet and print out the Earth Day spinning wheel template on cardstock or paper.
- Cut out the circle along the outer edge.
- Use markers, crayons, or coloured pencils to decorate the spinning wheel.
- On the blank Spinner wheel worksheet, kids can label each segment with different themes or messages such as “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”, “Plant Trees”, “Conserve Water”, “Save Energy”, “Clean the Oceans”, and “Protect Wildlife.”.
- Once completed, poke a hole in the centre of the circle and attach the two pieces with a metal brad or fastener.
- Spin the wheel and discuss the Earth-friendly action it lands on.
- Have fun spinning the wheel and learning about ways to help the Earth!
