With students attending school from home due to COVID-19 and many outdoor activities on hold as we enter the cold and rainy season, we’ve refreshed our list of activities to help keep kids engaged and learning.
Below is a variety of worksheets, videos, games, coloring pages and other activities for students of all ages, informed by our partnership with Portland Public Schools as we continue to develop the first ever fully-integrated K-12 Climate Literacy curriculum.
Some of these activities will require a printer but many can be completed using a smartphone or laptop. Many of these options can be used to support learning taking place in the online classroom, while others are just for fun. Check out the table below for grade level-appropriate options.
