Print the supplementary material (click to open in a new window: document 1, document 2, document 3 and document 4); it has drawings from different environments. Cut them up and give one of them to each pupil (some children will have the same cards).

The children will have to colour the cards; when they have finished all the cards will be placed up side down on the floor of the classroom.

The children will move along the classroom while the teacher plays some music. When the music (or a rhythm the teacher is beating) stops, each child will pick up the closest card and remain still like statues.

Each child will explain his/her mates what he/she can see in the card. Then, the teacher will name different environments (sea, mountain, desert, and pole) and as he/she names each one of them the children who have some elements that belong to that place will form a group.

Each group will prepare a mural with the different elements that represent that particular habitat; they will show it to the rest of the class and suggest some messages they could transmit to adults in order to keep and protect that environment.

Groups:

Pole: Igloo - Eskimo - penguin - polar bear - iceberg
Mountain: Pine trees - flowers - river - bear - rocks
Seas: Beaches - whale - starfish - dolphin - isle
Dessert: cactus - camels - palm trees - oasis - dromedary
