With Earth Day quickly approaching I put together this conversational based lesson for my school. It was made for elementary ESL learners from grade 1 to 6. It is positive and focuses on what each child can do daily to make a difference. I hope you can enjoy it.

1. Time to do something!

3. What are these pictures trying to tell you?

5. Earth Day is on
April 22nd
, but
really you should
think about the
Earth every day!
The first Earth Day
was in 1970. The
number of people
who celebrated
Earth Day in 1970
was 20 million
people, in 2010, the
number of people
who celebrated it
was 500 million.
Let’s join the fight!

7. Walk more, not only does
it keep the air clean but it
can keep you fit!
Turn it off if you’re not
using it: lights, TV,
computer, and more.
Buy more things made in
Taiwan (food and other).
Plant a tree and keep more
plants in your home,
balcony and/or roof.

8. Don’t litter! When you
throw your garbage on the
ground it often ends up in
rivers and the ocean.
Recycle paper, plastic,
metals, and left over food
garbage.
Bring your own bag when
you go shopping.
Bring your own water bottle
when you buy a tea from
outside.
Bring your own containers
when buying take-out food.

9.  Turn the water off once you wet your toothbrush.
 Eat less meat.
 When washing the dishes, have one spot for washing and another for
rinsing. Don’t keep the water running to rinse the dishes.

11. More recycling and
conserving ideas.
Would you like to make any of
these? Why?
Can you think of anything else
you could make to help recycle
and conserve resources?

12. Did you know plastic bottles can take hundreds or thousands of
years to decompose? Now this would be one STRONG broom.
