This resource is inside The Hive, along with thousands more, plus powerful digital tools and time-saving systems.

Are you looking for a hands-on activity that teaches students how to sort their waste correctly? This hands-on sorting activity teaches students to identify and classify different types of waste. Students sort picture cards into the correct category - glass, paper, plastic, metal, or compost - using one of two sorting mat designs.

What's included:

  • Sorting mat design 1 - flat header-style mats for each category

  • Sorting mat design 2 - wheelie bin style mats for each category

  • Colour and black & white versions of both mat designs

  • Picture cards to sort (colour and black & white)

  • Recording template - students draw or write examples of each type of recyclable waste

Hive members also have access to a growing library of Earth Day tools, slides, and activities - all ready to use. Not yet a member? Try The Hive free for 14 days.
