In this interactive environmental literacy lesson, students first listen to The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and discuss its key themes about conservation and responsibility with the support of a cause and effect graphic organizer. Now they’re ready to participate in a cooperative board game that models replanting trees (the ones the Once-ler cut down) and restoring ecosystems impacted by deforestation.

Use this video alongside our Lessons from the Lorax lesson plan for a fun and memorable sustainability lesson for K-5 students. For more details on this lesson, click here.
