Show the pictures of things that hurt plants on the “Care Bingo” cards. In pairs students find and circle the things that hurt plants and positive ways to treat plants in the garden. Wrap up: what are our responsibilities for the natural area? What about other areas like parks? Why should we care for our garden and gardens in general (provide oxygen, helps us care for other creatures etc) and how can we do so?
