Before starting the game, you should print two big boards showing the sad and happy Earth and the cards showing various situations or objects describing good and bad actions. We recommend laminating the pictures – that way they will last longer.

All kids should sit in a circle. Teacher places the pictures in the middle and encourages kids to draw smaller cards. One of kids shows the card to the rest of the group and they decide together where to place it – happy earth or sad?

After the exercise, teacher suggests pairing or grouping the cards to show solutions for the problems that make our planet unhappy. For example – cutting down the trees – planting trees.
