Green Family Time

Each day this week, make time for Mission Green Family Time!

For Monday, make up a little contest to see who in the family can find the most ways to save water.

Start the day, before your kids go to school with the idea. This will give them the opportunity to ask friends at school for ideas. Then, when they are home from school write down each idea they have come up with. Of course, practice those ideas that evening and from now on!

If your children are having a hard time, when they get home from school ask them to walk around inside and outside of your home to see where there is water. Then, ask them to think about how to save that water. For example, they might identify that water comes out of the hose. Ask them if there is a drip in the hose. Or ask them how many times a week the family waters the lawn and if the family could water less? The more active and interactive you make this game the more your children will enjoy and remember it!
