How to propose the scenario

Children are given simple instructions with a clear definition of objectives. The introduction to the scenario could be done with the common creation of a poster with the rules or a specially designed teaching card to be included in the notebook. The content of the scenario allows links to scientific and literary subjects.

Examples of activities:

Awareness raising activities on sea pollution with educational cards on Caretta caretta turtles, plastic and the importance of recycling plastic and metal materials correctly.
Crafting activities with the construction of a turtle using recycled materials accompanied by educational cards on recycling and environmental problems related to pollution.
