Understanding Great Big Green Week in EYFS & KS1
Let's put on our green hats and become nature's best helpers for Great Big Green Week!🌿💚🌍
For early years settings, nurseries, preschools, childminders, and Year 1 and Year 2 classrooms, this week provides a wonderfully positive and crucial theme for exploring the environment, recycling, plants, animals, conservation, sustainability, and understanding the world (the natural world). It’s about empowering children to feel they have a role in protecting our planet, fostering a love for nature, and teaching simple, practical actions they can take every day. This week offers fantastic planning ideas and inspiration for engaging activities & invitations that truly resonate with young minds, making learning about environmental care wonderfully hands-on!
Why Is Learning About the Environment Valuable for Young Children?
Integrating Great Big Green Week and themes of environmental care, sustainability, and climate action into your practice with young children (aged 0-7) is incredibly important for fostering a sense of responsibility, developing practical skills, and building a lifelong connection to nature.
Fosters Environmental Responsibility: Teaches children that their actions have an impact on the world around them.
Encourages Practical Action: Provides simple, tangible ways for children to contribute, like recycling or saving water.
Develops Empathy for Nature: Helps children understand the needs of plants and animals and the importance of protecting them.
Builds Community: Shows children the power of working together with friends and family to make a positive change.
Enhances Outdoor Learning: Inspires children to get outside and explore their local environment, from a garden to a park.
Sparks Hope and Optimism: Focuses on positive actions and solutions, empowering children to feel they can make a difference.
Engaging ‘Green’ Activities for Great Big Green Week (EYFS & KS1)
Let's celebrate Great Big Green Week by exploring the natural world, caring for our environment and discovering how small actions can make a positive difference. These planning ideas, provision enhancements and learning opportunities encourage children to develop curiosity about nature, appreciate living things and begin to understand how we can help look after our planet.
Many of these early years and year 1 activities can be supported by our dedicated ‘The Environment’, ‘Recycling’, ‘Endangered Animals’, ‘Plants’, and ‘Water’ resources.
Here's some inspiration for celebrating Great Big Green Week in your setting. The following ideas may be adapted for various EYFS and KS1 settings. In EYFS, these ideas are best viewed as invitations to explore and enhancements to provision rather than activities every child is expected to complete. Practitioners may choose to follow children's interests and questions about nature, wildlife, recycling and sustainability, using these resources flexibly. In KS1, some ideas may also be used within more structured teaching sequences where appropriate. Printable resources to support the following ideas may be found further down this page.
(Please use your own discretion and knowledge of your children to ensure appropriateness of each activity or enhancement and safety concerning any materials given and activity undertaken. Encourage respect for living things, thoughtful use of resources and positive environmental action.)

Why not use this fun farm animals and their young puzzle game to introduce your children to or consolidate their knowledge of farm animals? Cut each puzzle along the line in the middle and invite your children to match each farm animal with its offspring. Why not extend learning by discussing similarities and differences between the older and younger animals and also between the different types of animals? Extend children’s vocabulary by describing animal body parts such as tail, hooves, paws, fur, snout, etc. Ask questions such as ‘Which animal has the longest/shortest tail?’

These endless puzzles are perfect to show the cyclic nature of life cycles. For example in the first instance the frog puzzle may be placed in the order ‘frogspawn’, ‘tadpole’, ‘froglet’ and then ‘frog’. To demonstrate to children that the frog then lays frogspawn, the ‘frogspawn’ piece may be brought to connect with the ‘frog’ piece at the end and thus continuing the cycle. This process can continue for as long as you like, bringing the ‘tadpole’ piece to then end and then the ‘froglet’ piece and so on!

Have fun with this set of 8 ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ Activity Challenge cards. Great for exploring the story further! The suggested movement activities will bring elements of the story to life and embed ideas securely through active learning.
Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together!
Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world, number recognition and turn taking.

It is important to consider how we use water in our daily lives in order to shine a light on its value.
Why not discuss with your children what things they use water for? This pack of posters outlines some of the key ways water is used in our daily lives in order to help prompt discussion.
What other things do we need water for? Blank templates are included in the pack for your own ideas.
You may also like to use this poster pack in conjunction with our ‘Wonderful Water!’ Display’.

Have great fun with your children whilst all acting out ways in which we use water. It is important to consider how we use water in our daily lives in order to shine a light on its value.
Perhaps you could tell the story of someone’s day in movement form, highlighting all of the water related activities?
Alternatively children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do.
Cards could be featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front.
Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together!
For those children who are exceptionally engaged, these cards explored in sequence could even be set to music as a dance performance!
Equally, another extension would be putting the cards into the order of someone’s day and creating a dramatic movement performance as a back drop to an adult telling the story.
Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

Explore size and shape with this loose parts investigation. Print both the ‘big’ and the ‘small’ water drop.
Describe the shapes. Perhaps extend older children by asking ‘How are they similar?’ ‘How are they different?’ With younger children focus on the vocab ‘big’ and ‘small’.
Why not investigate how many e.g. building blocks or perhaps water themed objects you can fit in each and then compare the amounts? Adapt for different ages by using smaller or larger loose parts.
Why not involve a tool such as tweezers in the process to develop fine motor skills?
For our youngest children these templates could also be used as a stimulus to sort small and big objects…e.g a table of objects with a small and big version of each and the children place the objects next to the appropriate water drop.
