I played the game earth saver girl some of the games are really educational but they were all fun to play. I really like the site Earth Saver Girl
Missions to Planet Earth on Climate Kids is a great game to play. You have to buy tools for rockets.
Today for the first time I played Recycle This! IT was a game where you had to sort recycling and garbage. It was very complex and hard. I do not recommend it.
powering the planet is a really good source of information if your
writing a report.
The Earth Saver game at the Earth Saver Girl website is a lot of fun, but you are also destroying trash. You can play it at http://www.earthsavergirl.com/games/earthsaver.html
earth saver girl is a really good game try it out!!!!!!!!!
Power up was a fun game to play it you have to light up all the houses in 1:42 seconds there are 5 houses there is wind trying to stop you from lighting the houses this game showed you how to take care of the envirment
Offset was a fun game, but quite challenging! All you have to do is try not to let the carbon dioxide escape into the air. If I were you I would look at the tutorial first to know how the game works! It’s amazing that each time you ”accidentally” let the carbon dioxide into the air the red part of the meter on the top right of your game screen increases! If you feel inside you from reading this that you want to play then go ahead! If you see the money on the top left of your game screen increase then that means that you are doing a good job getting the carbon dioxide to not get into the air! Now that you have read this recommendation do you want to play Offset? If you do then great!!
I like power ups is a very fun game and challenging.
I recommend Leaps and Flutters because you can play with a partner and it is very much like Chutes and Ladders.
I like this game Recycle This. Although when I try to put an item in a bin it will not go in easily, it is very fun and educational
I think you should watch the video Climate Tails. It was very funny and educational. I love watching animals talk!
In my opinion the game “leaps and flutters board game” was really fun. I would rate it 5 stars!
I would recommend the game slyder. In this game in order to win, you must solve a challenging slide puzzle.
I like Power up, it’s really fun and cool.
I thought the trivia game was really fun and I give it 5 stars .
I kind of liked the game go green because you have to chose the right transportation like instead of cars you could choose a bike or walk.But don’t think it was that fun so don’t reccomend.
You should try the game Climate Trivia. It is fun,and you can learn a lot from this game. It teaches you what to do to help the earth.
I thought that the trivia game was really fun and entertaining! I give it five stars
Leaps Flutters was fun
I really liked the Power Up game. You have to light up all the houses using just a solar panel and a windmill. Power Up is really fun!
i think you should play go green. it is a really fun game.
I give it 5 stars
*****
I played Power Up. This game is very difficult and its hard to continue to higher medals. Over all this game was okay, though it is hard it is very fun and addicting. Its fun to play!
Power Up is awesome, although the clouds get really annoying sometimes
Play offsite its really you can learn how hard it is to teach the world to recyle
I personally thought that trivia was fun.
