Earth Day History

* Earth Day is held each year in the United States on April 22nd.
* The international Earth Day is on the Vernal Equinox (around March 21st.)
* The day can be celebrated with a party using entirely recyclable materials.
* Serve drinks in aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles. Pizza out of cardboard boxes is a great food, especially at a school party.
* Serve your guests on regular silverware and plates rather than Styrofoam or the plastic coated paper ones which don’t recycle well.
* Set up marked recycling containers for the guests to place their trash.
* Little kids can decorate brown paper grocery bags and turn them into masks as an activity at the party.
* Use markers, glue, and even food items like dried macaroni noodles in the decoration, anything that is recyclable or that will biodegrade naturally in the environment.
* Activity for the kids - plant a seed so they can take it home to watch it grow. You’ll need to save up your smaller heavy paper egg cartons, not the Styrofoam ones. The small ones usually only hold four to six eggs and are perfect for incubating four to six seedlings. You’ll also need a variety of seeds, preferably the bigger types like lima beans and pumpkins which are easier for kids to handle, and a bag of dirt. Give each of the kids an egg carton and let them choose their own variety of seeds or a couple varieties and help them plant. At the end of the party they can take their planted seeds home with simple growing instructions and watch them grow into seedlings.
* Lead a brigade down to the local park or river and pick up trash that has piled up or plant flowers, plants and other trees native to the area.

AROUND THE EARTH: Have your guests sit in a circle and pretend they are sitting aorund the Earth. The first player whispers a phrase to the 2nd player. The 2nd player has to whisper that phrase to the 3rd and so on. When the last person hears the phrase, they stand up and say the phrase out loud. Usually by the time the phrase travels "around the Earth" the phrase is completely different.
