Happy Earth and Sad Earth

Learning about how to care for the Earth and promote sustainability is an important lesson that can benefit children throughout their lives. Begin by introducing the concept of environmental sustainability to the children. Explain that the Earth is our home, and that we need to take care of it so that it stays healthy and happy for us and for future generations.

Show the children the printable, with the happy Earth on one side and the sad Earth on the other. Ask them to identify the differences between the two pictures. You might prompt them with questions like: “What do you see in the happy Earth picture that is missing in the sad Earth picture?” “What kinds of things might make the Earth sad?” “What kinds of things might make the Earth happy?”

Talk to the children about the kinds of actions they can take to help keep the Earth happy. Some examples might include recycling, conserving water and energy, planting trees, and picking up litter. Encourage the children to share their own ideas for how they can help.
