As part of MIT's Day of Climate, this professional development session provides training for the Climate Change Charades activity.Focused on elementary school-aged learners, climate change charades will address the gap in accessible, engaging, and interactive climate education.Learners act out or describe climate change-related concepts, helping to reinforce their understanding in a fun, collaborative way. Inspired by Climate Fresk workshops, which break down the complexities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, this activity will utilize a similar concept to make learning about climate change more accessible.By acting out different environmental and climate phenomena, students will deepen their comprehension of key climate concepts while also building communication and teamwork skills. The interactive play allows for the responsible introduction of potentially climate-anxiety inducing topics to impressionable ages. This game can be used as an icebreaker, an introduction to more advanced topics, or a way to reinforce content already covered in class.Register for this in-person session.
