Waste Not!
Game:
Each person playing in the game must have a reproduction of FIGURE A before him.
The trash cans in FIGURE B must be placed in the center.
Copy and cut around each images in FIGURE C; these are the playing cards. Place the cards on the
FIGURE B.
Pick a card, and then tell if the object is either:
1)
Reusable: sofas, refrigerators, clothes, books.
Can be sold at garage sale or thrift shop
2)
Recyclable: paper, aluminum, glass, some plastics
Can be picked up by sanitation department or taken to locate recycling centers.
3)
Compostable: materials that create methane and bad smell in landfills can be composted into nutrient-
rich soil and fertilizer (food waste, leaves, grass clippings, kitty litter.)
4)
Avoidable: disposables like pens, razors, plastic diapers
If you find the right answer, put the card (image) on top of the boxes before you, FIGURE A; place it at the
right spot, either recyclable, reusable, compostable or avoidable.
Each box has different bonus points.
If, for example, your card was COMPOSTABLE, you win 2 points.
You will count your score at the end of the game!
If your answer is wrong, put the card (image) on top of the trash cans to recycle it into the game!
Put the card under the first pile of cards or right next to it so another player will not reuse it right away.
You may find several answers for the same image!
There is no right or wrong answer as long as you can justify your choice.
When the object do not fall in any of these categories, you miss a turn!
Even though place the card back into the trash cans; maybe another player can find the category for it!
Some images give you the answer right away, that’s the chance card!
