Let's reforest!

  • Caring
  • Respect
  • Appreciation of the environment
  • Responsibility

The teacher will print the two images from the supplementary material (document 1 and document 2) and show them to the children.

Once they have observed the two illustrations, the teacher asks:
  • What can you see in this image? (he/she will show the picture full of plants)
  • What can you see in the other one?
  • What do you think has happened in the picture in which we can't see any plants?
  • And what about the animals that lived there before?
  • What would happen if someone cut down all the trees of the forests?
  • What would happen to the animals that live in them?
  • …

The teacher will ask as many questions as possible. Then, he/she will finish the conversation by telling the children that it's true that sometimes it's necessary to cut down some trees; but in those cases new trees have to be planted to substitute the other ones. In this way everything will be less harmful for the animals that live in those habitats.

The teacher will ask the children to plant new trees in the illustration in which the trees have been devastated.

The children will draw and colour different plants and trees on that illustration.
