- Prizes: Select small prizes for winners (ideas below!)
How to Play Earth Day Bingo
2. Pass out your bingo card and items to mark. If your bingo card is laminated or in a page protector, you can also have players mark the spots with a dry-erase marker.
3. Decide what each player needs to win. Can they go up, down, and diagonally? Do they need “blackout” (all spaces marked) before they win? Make sure everyone is clear on how you win the game.
4. Decide on the timetable. How much time will people have to work on their Earth Day bingo before the game is over?
Two to five days is ideal to take advantage of events like a Farmer’s Market.
5. Start a square together!
6. When a player completes a line or covers the whole board, they bring in their bingo board to win.
Doable Earth Day Bingo Actions
Pick up litter. Clean up your neighborhood. Or bring a trash bag to a nearby park and pick it up after you play.
Plant a tree or flower. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, improve air quality, prevent erosion, provide habitats for wildlife, and even improve your mental health. They’re so important!
Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Then, unplug the electronics you aren’t using so they don’t take in wasted energy.
Use public transportation, carpool, bike, or walk to your destination. This improves your health while reducing your carbon footprint.
Buy a secondhand item instead of buying a new one. Visit your local thrift store or garage sales.
Try reusable cloths. Paper towels contribute to deforestation, water waste (making paper towels uses a lot of water), and landfill pollution.
Try a plant-based meal. Here’s our favorite Pasta e Fagioli. The parmesan is optional, as it’s outstanding without it too.
Do a digital detox and reconnect with nature. Take a long hike instead.
Buy from a Farmer’s Market. Support local businesses while getting the freshest items available.
Use a reusable water bottle. These greatly reduce the plastic waste of single-use water bottles, which end up in landfills and oceans.
Take a shorter shower: Time yourself to shower in under 5 minutes to conserve water.
Donate gently used clothes. Or sell them at a garage sale. Either way, you’ll be extending the life of items and keeping them out of landfills.
Share Earth Day facts with others. How much of the plastic waste created by humans is still in the environment? The answer (in the link above) will shock you!
Make a natural cleaner. It’s easier than you think! Try a natural cleaner recipe here.
Start a garden. Start small and build as you go! You’ll eat healthier while reducing the waste from packaged goods.
Bring reusable bags when you go shopping
