Description
This interactive digital activity supports life skills and environmental awareness by helping students practice recycling and waste sorting in a structured, real-world format. Students are shown a picture of a common everyday item and must choose the correct recycling bin (plastic, organic, or paper). This activity strengthens decision-making skills, environmental responsibility, and functional independence. Level 2 builds confidence by focusing on visual identification and accurate sorting across multiple scenarios, preparing students for higher-level application tasks. Designed with neurodivergent learners in mind, this resource supports students who benefit from visual supports, clear choices, and predictable routines.

Note: Pair this deck with the Recycling Unit Bundle and accompanying printable task cards for hands-on reinforcement in task boxes or structured work systems.
