French Earth Day Activities – Le jour de la Terre

If you’re looking for French Earth Day resources, you’ve come to the right place 🙂

Teaching about the Earth and the importance of taking care of our planet is crucial. Our students will be the ones shaping our future!

This post includes links to videos, printables, a Slideshare and a FREE minibook –  all about “le jour de la Terre”!

French Earth Day Time-Saving Resources (including a free mini-book)

Let me save you some time if you’re teaching about Earth Day this month. Check out the following resources:

1. French Earth Day Videos

This first video is great as its lyrics use lots of words related to the topic. I love this part:

“La terre n’est pas une poubelle.
Il y a un secret pour qu’elle soit belle :
Ne rien jeter par terre et trier ses déchets.
Petits et grands, nous sommes tous concernés !”

Next video is a super catchy song about air pollution.

“Clip! Clap! Font les gottes d’eau dans le lavabo!” kids will be singing this for days! The following video is from the same series as the one above. In fact, there are more videos in the series, but I’ve selected these two to display here.

Teach your students to save water with this video – they’ll never see the faucet the same way after that!

Here’s how the producers of the next video described it: “Une classe de première année fabrique une murale qui a pour thème le jour de la terre. Ils discutent et réfléchissent sur la signification de cette journée.”

This is not really a video because there’s only one still image, but the song is not too complex for kids to sing along. The lyrics to the song is in the video description.

This next video is not about Earth Day specifically, but it talks about children’s future, so I think it’s related. Besides, the song is so lovely, I had to share with you!

After all, we need to protect Earth so kids can grow up to be whatever they choose to be!

2. French Earth Day Sentence Builders, a.k.a. Phrases Mêlées, a.k.a. Scrambled Sentences

As students learn how to organize words into coherent sentences, they need lots of examples and opportunities to really build the structures up. Sentence builders are cut-apart sentences that students need to put back together in the right way. This set of French Earth Day Sentence Builders (scrambled sentences) is double-duty because all the sentences are questions, which is always a harder structure for kids to master. After putting the questions back together, students need to answer them.
