Greta Thunberg KS2 activities

This PDF resource also includes a sheet of accompanying activity ideas:

  • Debate the ethics of the schools strike led by Greta Thunberg. Is any issue important enough for children to miss out on education, or is this sort of protest better left to adults? Or are children, the future of this world, the best people to protest its destruction?
  • Put together a five-point plan to get world leaders to do something about climate change
  • Create clever protest signs by writing three slogans to go on them
  • Research a recent extreme weather occurrence that forced people to leave their homes and write a summary of the events
