Knowing how to recycle is important! Use this activity to practice your sorting skills and learn which items can or cannot be recycled.
What You’ll Need
2 containers
Card stock
Magazines
Scissors
Double Sided Tape
What To Do
Cut out images from the magazines of different items that are either recyclable or non-recyclable.
Take the cut-out items and tape them to the card stock with the double-sided tape.
Using the leftover card stock, create two signs - one for recycling and one for garbage. Place each sign in one of the containers
Time to play! Try to match the cut-out items with the correct way to get rid of them.
