Earth Day Activities for Youth

April 3, 2009 by Jennifer

If you’re looking for something fun and Earth Day related for the littles in your world, no worries; I’ve got some cool activities rounded up. Some we’ve talked about here before and others are brand spanking new.

FUN EVENTS & IDEAS:

Go see the new Disneynature’s Earth movie premiering on Earth Day or rent a nice earth-minded flick.

Find a major Earth Day event for the whole family at the Earth Day network.

COOL EARTH RELATED YOUTH PROJECTS:

Get involved with the Earth Day Groceries Project- we discussed this here last year, and everyone loved the idea. I still think it sounds like fun. Kids get to gather paper bags from a local store, decorate them up in true Earth Day style, and take them back to the store so that consumers get a taste of green on Earth Day.

Water Use Earth Day Project for Kids

Older teens and college kids can get involved with greening the local college campus.

Anyone remember Journey North? We talked about it last February and being that it’s a year-long event I figured I’d bring it up. Kids can hook up with Journey North, learn about nature, and discuss the natural world with kids all over the country. Great earthy fun.

According to the Earth Day website, following are some of the best youth groups for kids to join. Kids involved with these groups are dedicated to fighting climate change and creating positive changes for the planet.
