Pick up a paper and put it in,
put it in, put it in.
Pick up a paper and put it in the blue recycling bin.

Pick up a glass and put it in,
put it in, put it in.
pick up a glass and put it in the green recycling bin.

Pick up a plastic and put it in
put it in, put it in.
Pick up a plastic and put it in the yellow recycling bin.

Pick up food and put it in,
put it in.
Pick up food and put it in, the compost bin. ]]> 2020-04-08 15:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/498995352 Àngela Rostoll https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/506200210 For children to start learning where throw each material, let’s do cards with each recycling container and other cards with a picture of garbage (bottles of water, glass, carton box, etc) and the cards background of the corresponding colour of each container.

A fun way to make kids learn how to recicle (recycle) is by making a simulation recycling plant simulation.Inside the space (building/place), we will leave mixed stoppers, plastics, cardboard, aluminium sheets, paper and we’ll put some trays of the colour of the recycling bins around, and they’ll have to sort them.]]> 2020-04-14 16:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/506790200 Belén Nogales https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/506861437 Kids love to play, so I've thought in a RECYCLING BINGO.
The adult will have to mention the elements of the cardboard in a random way. The boy or girl who first finishes a line will have to justify that they have completed all the elements and say correctly in which container has to go each one. Will finish when a boy or girl sing bingo and know how to locate correctly all the elements in its recycling place.]]> 2020-04-14 16:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/506861437 Paula Pérez https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/506904385
  • Drawings to distinguish containers and waste, which they make.
  • Convert waste into games.
  • Walks along the beach to make it a little cleaner
  • Readings on the environment.
  • Reuse things such as dolls, curtains ...

    • They can also be complemented with songs and dances, children love to move, dance and sing.

    We will show that the color grey is for the organic rubish, because  when we think in rubbish everybody think in grey. Green is for glass: mostly the glasses are green and this is the way to show that. 
    Paper goes in the blue, because if we think paper comes from nature and blue is a natural color. 
    Plastic is a element dangerous, because pollutes our waters and kills fishes, and as tellow is the color of danger, this material goes in the bucket pf this color.]]>     2020-04-15 10:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/508179093     Bianca van den Bergh Cuevas https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/509390652
    Learning with colors is more fun!!
    We make groups for four children
    In the middle of the class there are four recycling boxes, each painted in a different color (blue, yellow, green and purple)

    On each table there is a paper with the different recycling containers and images. Each group of children must match the image in the corresponding container, making a line with the same color that corresponds to the image and the recycling container.
    Then each child takes a recyclable item from the table, and throw it in the appropiated  recycling box.

    I propose two games that children will love:
    The first game will be a recycled bowling game
    It's convenient that the children have finished having lunch or snack (because we need an empty bottle and a sandwich wrapper). When the sandwich and water bottle are finished, we will use all the bottles to make a bowling triangle and each one with the wrapper of their sandwich will make a ball.
    Ready! We have a recycled game, it is easy to make and a lot of fun. In addition, we will get the children to finish their food. ;)
    The second game will be a recycled puppet
    We will need: an old sock, glue and recycled material (buttons, soda plates or water bottle caps, newspapers, cardboard, old fabrics or pieces of wool).
    We will put our hand inside the sock and with the other hand we will glue the recycled material as we like.
    It is a simple resource to make and children will love making their own characters to play.

    JOIN ELEMENTS.
    It is a board with the recycling containers and there are some tiles which will have to be placed on the corresponding icon.
    In this way they will learn what material household products are made of and improve recycling at home.]]>     2020-04-19 05:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/514943558     Ana Lloret signes https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/517825092 Since the children love to play I have thought the game of the memori so that the children learn about recycling. 
    It consists of the following:
    - 4 cards with the image of the different recycling containers and 4 cards with the image of an item belonging to each container.
    - The cards will be face down. Children have to lift two cards, if they make the item with the corresponding container they remain face up and if not, they are turned face down again. 
    - The game ends when all the cards are paired.

    All students will be placed in a round. And they will be indicated alternatively that they are a certain color, using the colors of the garbage containers, (blue, green, yellow, gray). The activity consists of the teacher naming different wastes so that a mediator who does it, or the students who are the corresponding container color, jumps out of the chair and says: YO!
    - You can use music while doing this activity, to make it more enjoyable and fun.

    The activity that I have prepared for the children to learn to recycle is a board, with roads and garbage out off the road, and each child takes a truck of one color ( blue, green, yellow, gray) and has to take the garbage inside the corresponding truck depends on the color.

    - Make a small gargabe cans to find out where everything goes.
    - Ww will make the cubes with recycled bottles and then each child will cut it with their imagination.
    - After cutting, we will paint the cubes with colors.
    -Finally we will make a hole in the bucket and we can already thorw our garbage and know where goes in the container.]]>     2020-04-21 14:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/520393053     Àngels González Viñes. https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/522840260 The little one will be very clear about what goes to each container if he draws, paints and cuts the most common waste and also sticks them next to the corresponding container. So you will have no doubts when you take the yogurt glass, the core of an apple or the glass jar of jam to the trash.
    1.-Draw the different containers
    2.-Color them like the ones you will find on the street
     3.-Trim them.
    4.-Glue them next to the container.

The best way for a kids to learn is throught activities and games.

    This activity consists of making small-sized recycling bins with cardboard. Then different types of waste would be drawn and children have to identify which container each waste belongs to.

    It´s a game for kids to learn how to recycle and have a good time.

    -We will place 5 colored boxes (green: for glass, blue: for paper, yellow: for plastic, gray: for organic and brown: for general waste. 
    We help children to put each type of product in a container: those that have to be thrown in the yellow container, those that go to green, what goes to blue ...

When they have made and cut them, they should put them in the bag where they think they are going in this way. We will show them their mistakes and where each object really goes.

    An activity that can be done in the classroom is to place 4 containers of blue, yellow, green and gray and with photographs, place the products that you think are there and that help your parents with recycling.

Containers can be cut and pasted somewhere in the class. Around each of them, children can paste the objects that they have previously drawn and cut out and that belong to each container: an old newspaper in the blue, a glass bottle in the green, a milk carton in the yellow or a fish's scrap in the gray, and thus many more objects so that they can differentiate the big majority.

    Inside the classroom there will be some buckets painted with the colors of the recycling bins, inside each bucket there will be objects that should not be there and objects that should be in them.

    Groups will be made and each group will have to organize the bucket that they are going to get.

    Once each group has organized the bucket, they must take the objects that are not in that bucket to the bucket where they should throw them.

    Once the groups have organized each bucket, the children share why each object goes in that bucket.

    This is an activity where the children think and work as a group, and they can also give their opinions.

    Kids really like making crafts. A Good idea to make a craft at school that teaches recycling is to make a robot with recycled tins.
    Each child brings two tins of recycled tins in from their home, a large tin and a small tin. To assemble the robot you need silicone, color Paint and bottle caps or buttons. You stick the two tins together, you Paint and stick the eyes and mouth on using the bottle caps or buttons.

We will have a stuffed animal in the shape of a fish like Nemo. With the help of the mascot the class will tell the story:
    "People throw rubbish in the sea, but Nemo cannot eat the rubbish because it is bad for him." How can we help him?
    Separating the rubbish in to separate containers, we will place a plastic bag for the plastics and a box for the cardboard. They will be easy to use on top of each plastic bag and box, there will be pictures to help you put the proper trash in the right bag and box.
    We will give the  children encouragment  to do this and reward them, when they do it correct.
    Whoever is more positive every week will win Nemo as a prize to keep and take home!!]]>     2020-05-05 15:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/yogiba/6orw6ma5kfi0/wish/552416876
