The “Big Foot” game
In the Lower School, Bess and Elinor (grade 4) are working on the “Big Foot Game”: an adaptation of the Carbon Footprint game created by the Unitarians for Social Justice to assist congregations in taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
The goal of the game is to cover as much of a big cardboard footprint with green “action-stickers” as possible. Bess and Elinor are working on the stickers: they decided they should only include actions that a Lower School girl could take independently. The big foot will stay in the STEAM room. The lower school girls will have opportunities to choose the sticker(s) they think they have earned over the past few days, by taking a new action or renewing one. They will stick them to the foot, thus turning it greener every day.
Everyone in the Lower School can be a change-maker!
Post a green sticker on the BIG FOOT whenever you take a carbon-cutting action like:
Take shorter showers
Use reusable water bottles
Take a walk in nature
Donate your used items
Don’t waste food
Buy less
Update: Carbon Footprint full of actions!
