Preparing rainforest lessons and activities

Educating young people is key to raising awareness about the importance of rainforests in stopping climate change.  To help you do this we offer a wide selection of free resources aimed to help teachers bring the rainforests into the classroom, including:

• Lesson ideas
• Rainforest Factsheets for children and teachers
• Assembly Ideas
• Fun Games and Class Activities
• Rainforest Multimedia including videos, webcams, photos, games and sounds
• Links to other great resources

You can also find help with preparing for your classes here.

Other educational activities to do with your class  

• Read Ed's Amazon Adventure blog with your class
• Read what our team of rainforest experts had to say when they answered some Powerful Questions posed by schoolchildren about the rainforests.

Sharing your students’ work and your lesson ideas

Whether you are a school teacher or run an after school activity club, live in the UK or abroad, we hope you will share your students’ work, your own lesson ideas and find inspiration in seeing others’ work too! You can:

• View our online Schools’ Gallery or upload your own students’ work
• View lesson ideas that other teachers have submitted, or share your own
• View our Featured School page where we highlight schools who have done exemplary work
