Cleaning the school surroundings

Going out with gloves and bags, and after returning, segregating and talking about garbage.

Steps

1. Before going out: safety rules (we don't touch glass and syringes with bare hands, we report to an adult).
2. Groups with bags in three colours clean the designated area: playground, park, school surroundings.
3. After returning, children weigh the bags and write down the result.
4. Conversation: where does garbage come from, how many years does a bottle take to decompose, how can we produce less of it.

Tip: The municipality often issues bags and gloves for the campaign for free; apply earlier.

Materials needed

• Disposable gloves for children or size S (1 pair per child)
• Coloured garbage bags for segregation (1 set per group)
• Reflective vests for children (1 per child)
• Trash grabber (2-3 pieces)
