Climate change in the children's room: This is how you talk about it!

Climate change in the children's room: This is how you talk about it!

children are the future - and the future has to struggle with a serious problem: climate change! Winter as we knew it is no longer. Less snow covers our streets and the temperatures rise. While the picture books of white winter wonders dream, reality is very different. What can we do? The Children's Foundation presents four exciting ideas to actively introduce children to this pressing topic!

A colorful winter for bees!

The mild winter power has unnecessary effects on our nature. Bees, which normally linger in winter rest, are already buzzing around, looking for food. Take the opportunity and plant early bloomers together before the frost uses! This not only helps the hardworking insects, but also bring color to the winter!

light - for the environment!

As soon as the sun goes down, it is time to turn the light on - but is that really necessary? The progressive darkness offers the perfect way to explore the light with children. Which lights are really essential? Where can you do without the light at home or in kindergarten? At a time when every energy guesser has to be scandalized, this is an important step!

winter and its secrets

hibernation or not?

We don't just talk about us when it comes to staying warm! Many animals, such as the hedgehog, wake up due to atypical temperatures and rob themselves of precious energy. How far do we protect ourselves from the cold in winter? Talk about energy consumption and heat up awareness of climate protection!

From here to there-the transport puzzle!

The changing temperatures have direct effects on the migratory birds, which now stay here instead of migrating. What a fascinating topic for children! Discuss the different means of transportation, analyze which more environmentally friendly and which are better suited for short distances. Movement is not only healthy, it is also a contribution to climate protection!

The approaches presented come from the image cards of the children's Foundation for Education for Sustainable Development. If you want to intervene as a pedagogical specialist, the foundation will be happy to inform you about further training on this topic!
