What Is Earth Day? Poster

Use it to introduce Earth Day before other activities. A grown-up reads the facts aloud for K and 1st grade, and older children can quiz a partner on the dates.

One poster with 6 numbered fact boxes and small pictures. It says the first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970, that U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin had the idea, that about 20 million Americans took part, that Earth Day comes every April 22 and is celebrated around the world, and that kids help by planting, recycling and picking up litter.

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 3rd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

2 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 62 Earth Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Earth Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten to 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 5-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
