Description: In this Boom Card deck, students will explore 24 real-life projects created by other students using recyclable materials. Each card features a photo of an outdoor art creation and challenges learners to think critically and make inferences while targeting writing. Students will answer the same four thought-provoking questions on each page: • What materials do you think were used? • Would this item hold up well in the rain? • What is a title you could give this project? • Could it be used to decorate a yard or garden? Not all children followed the original instructions to create outdoor or yard art, adding another layer of analysis for your students to consider. This deck is perfect for promoting problem-solving, observation skills, and inferencing through visual interpretation. This makes a perfect Earth Day activity! Students reflect on how recyclable materials can be creatively reused, encouraging conversations about sustainability, environmental responsibility, and the importance of reducing waste, while sharpening critical thinking and writing skills. Ideal for upper elementary or middle school classrooms, this activity works well for independent work or group discussions.
