Tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour jouer à ce jeu

  • Large piece of cardboard (at least A2 size)
  • Rope or strong string

  • Markers
  • Scissors

Bricolage

1

Étape 1

Prepare the cardboard base

Take a sturdy piece of cardboard and place it horizontally

2

Étape 2

Cut the hand hole

In the center, cut a round hole about 12–15 cm in diameter—big enough for a child’s hand to reach through.

3

Étape 3

Add the curtain

Cover the hole with paper strips or tissue paper cut vertically, so a hand can go through but the contents remain hidden.

4

Étape 4

Attach the rope and buckets
  • Thread a rope through the hole so it loops underneath.
  • Attach one small bucket to each end of the rope so that they hang beneath the hole and can be accessed from either side.
  • Secure the buckets so they don’t fall off or tip easily.
5

Étape 5

Create the flowchart

On one side of the board, draw or glue a flowchart that starts with:

  • “Does your item come from nature?” and leads to decision paths.
  • Use arrows, questions, and example illustrations to guide the path.
  • Add keywords like RecycleRe-useUpcycle.
6

Étape 6

Add visuals & instructions
  • Add icons or images near each question or answer (e.g. banana peel = natural; bottle cap = non-natural).
  • Write simple instructions next to each step for the older kids to follow on their own.
7

Étape 7

Decorate creatively
  • Use green tones, leaves, or playful eco-icons to make it visually engaging.
  • Label clearly which version of the game is which, or mark zones for young/older players.

Bon travail!

Un guide étape par étape pour jouer le jeu

1
Version 1 – For younger children (team play & tactile guessing game)


2

Divide the group into two teams.

3

Each team gathers a few (clean/safe) items from nature or found objects nearby (e.g. bottle caps, leaves, sticks, wrappers).

4

Each team places their collected items into their team bucket.

5

One child from Team A reaches through the curtain-covered hole and grabs one item from Team B’s bucket.

6

Without looking, the child tries to guess what the item is by touch.

7

If the guess is correct, Team A earns a point.

8

Now it’s Team B’s turn. Repeat until all items are guessed.

9

Conclude with a group reflection: which items were natural? Which were trash? What could be done with them?

10
Version 2 – For older children (flowchart decision game)
11

Each child or pair chooses one item found in nature or brought by the facilitator (real or illustrated).

12

Using the flowchart on the game board, they answer:

  • “Does this item come from nature?”
  • If yes: “Can you return it to nature or re-use it?”
  • If no: “Can it be recycled or upcycled (epicycled)?”
13

At each step, children look at the visual examples to inspire solutions (e.g. reusing a jar, turning wrappers into art).

14

Optional: Use the Mobile School panels and apply the same flowchart to items shown on those panels.

15

Let them present one item and how they would reuse, recycle, or upcycle it to the group.
