By Anee’s School – Best School in Mohali and Kharar
While summer holidays are an ideal time for students to have fun, relax, and begin learning some new skills, it is also a perfect time to educate children on how to care for the Earth. At Anee’s School, one of the top Kharar Mohali schools, we know it is important to educate our students on the book knowledge, values – of taking care of nature.
Here you will find some easy and fun eco-friendly plans for students to try this summer. These tasks are safe, fun and help protect the environment!
1. Grow Plant at Home
One of the simplest methods to help nature is to plant plants.
⧭ Get a flower pot, or a plastic soda bottle
⧬ Put dirt into it
⧭ Put some seeds of flowers, vegetables, or herbs
⧬ Water daily and set in the sun
By gardening you teach your children about responsibility and the importance of green spaces, while also increasing their academic knowledge about plants and growth.
2. Create Art from Waste
Students can create something beautiful instead of placing it in the trash.
🔴 Use old newspapers, cardboard boxes, or plastic bottles
🔵 Create pencil holders, wall art, or basic toys
🔴 Use natural dyes or water-based paint
This activity teaches students the importance of reusing and recycling waste, an important lesson when trying to live an eco-friendly life.
3. Clean-Up Drive At Home – or in a Nearby Area
Inspire children to stay clean and motivate them to keep their surroundings clean.
🟣 Facilitate a small clean-up at home or at a nearby park
🟡 Wear gloves, collect litter, and put it properly in the trash
🟣 Teach others to stay clean too
This creates a dedication to social responsibility and appreciation for the environment. It also fosters leadership and team-building development.
4. Save Water Challenge
Water is very valuable and students can learn how to conserve it.
✦ Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth
✧ Use a bucket instead of a shower
✦ Collect rainwater to water your plants
You can even turn it into a game – see how much water your family can save each week!
5. Create Eco-Friendly Bags
Plastic bags are damaging to the environment. One way the students could help is to make cloth bags from old T-shirts.
★ Cut the sleeves and neck hole off of your old shirt
☆ Tie the bottom with a knot and cinch tightly
★ You can use it for groceries or books
This is an original and functional project that is also a way to help eliminate plastic.
6. Create a Bird Feeder
Sometimes birds get thirsty and hungry in the summer.
◩ Use an old container or bottle
◪ Fill the container with grains or water.
◩ Hang it on a tree or wash it on your deck.
This activity helps students develop compassion for animals and love for all living things.
7. Establish a Compost Bin
Instead of tossing kitchen yard waste in the trash, use it to make compost.
🟨 Use a container to hold fruit peels, veggie waste, and dry leaves.
🟧 Keep turning every few days.
🟨 In a few weeks, it becomes compost.
This compost could also be used for your garden. It is a wonderful way for students to learn about recycling, in a natural way.
8. Reduce Electricity Use
Teach children how to save energy.
🔷 Turn off fans and lights when not in use
🔹 Use natural light during the day
🔷 Avoid overusing mobile phones or TVs
This builds awareness of energy saving and supports the idea of best education that includes real-life values.
9. Create Cleaners from Natural Ingredients
Students can assist in making their own simple cleaners at home with vinegar, lemons and baking soda.
🔷 Mix vinegar with water for glass cleaner.
🔶 Use the lemon juice for stain removal.
All of these are safe, and do not harm the environment as chemical cleaners do.
10. Eco-Education Using Books or Drawing
Children can read a book or draw a picture based on nature.
✪ Read books about animals and forests.
⍟ Draw a poster on how to protect the Earth.
✪ Share their stories or posters with friends and family.
This stimulates creativity and raises environmental awareness in others.
