These Earth Day questions for students are great to use at home with your own kids or with students in a classroom. They’re the perfect way to teach kids about Earth Day and talk about ways you can better the Earth as a family or classroom! Kids will love to answer these Earth Day questions and then make plans based on their answers!
Earth Day Talking Questions
A couple of months ago my son got a pack of brain questions as his toy in a kids meal at our favorite fast food restaurant.
That’s where it started.
Ever since that first pack of questions, my son now associates eating dinner at the table with asking and answering questions together as a family.
Some days they are trivia questions about his favorite cartoon characters and some days it’s just questions to distract him from the fact the TV isn’t on.
I created these fun Earth Day questions for kids to do the same thing – get the kids talking about something they may not otherwise be that interested in.
They’re great for leading up to Earth Day (and planning your own Earth Day activities), for using in the classroom with students on Earth Day, or even just asking yourself these questions!
Earth Day Questions for Students
These Earth Day questions are great to ask kids either at home or in the classroom – simply change the wording on the questions to work as Earth Day questions for students instead!
Some of these questions are trivia style questions and some of them are just talking questions.
Some of them are questions to get your kids opinions on what kind of things you can do to better our earth, giving you a chance to explain why we celebrate Earth Day at all. And to get ideas on ways to celebrate Earth Day next week!
If you need more resources, I also have this whole set of Earth Day worksheets that are all great Earth Day activities for students!
We went through this list of questions with my kiddo a few years ago, and it was so fun to see what my son said.
Kids are funny. He decided that we needed to plant flowers at our house to make the Earth prettier (and because everyone else in the neighborhood has them) and that he needs to take swimming lessons so he can enjoy the water more.
We’ve since planted flowers and he’s taken swim lessons.
We are planning to ask these questions again this year now that we’re in Kansas City and both my boys are a bit older! I’m excited to see what kind of answers they come up with!
