A Treasure Hunt for Green Gold
What's better than a treasure hunt? A recycling-themed treasure hunt, of course! For those who want to play this game quick and easy, simply create a checklist of common recyclables like plastic bottles and give everyone a limited time to scour the house for those hidden treasures. For those who have more time on their hands, consider letting your kids use recycled materials to create their own treasure chest and shiny pirate treasure. Either way, this game can be a great way to take up some spare time whilst learning valuable recycling lessons!
Upcycling Extravaganza
Artistic minds get ready to turn recyclables into masterpieces! Gather materials like cereal boxes, bottle caps, old magazines, and challenge your kids to transform them into art.

This activity can be a great way of getting a second lease of life out of recyclables and keeping the kid entertained with low cost.
Recycling Bingo
Who doesn't love a good game of bingo? This game is a sneaky way of getting some little helpers during your usual recycling routine.
