Storytime Outline Lesson Plan: Earth Day! Free Printable

Earth Day is a special day to celebrate our planet and think about how we can take care of it. It happens every year on April 22nd. The first Earth Day was in 1970, a long time ago, and it was started by a man named Gaylord Nelson. He wanted to remind people how important it is to protect the Earth’s air, water, and land.

On Earth Day, people all over the world do things to help the environment. Some people pick up trash to keep parks and streets clean. Others plant trees and flowers to help the Earth grow beautiful. It’s also a day to think about how we can use less energy, water, and plastic.

Everyone can help the Earth! Simple things like recycling, turning off lights when you’re not using them, and walking or biking instead of driving can make a big difference. Earth Day helps remind us that we all need to take care of the planet, so it stays healthy for animals, plants, and people.

So, on April 22nd, remember to do something kind for the Earth. Whether it’s picking up litter or planting a tree, every little bit helps!
