GREEN FLAG RESOURCES

The resources have been developed for use by a range of ages and abilities of pupils but please feel free to adapt them to suit your needs. Each lesson or 'set' of resources includes a 'Teachers' food for thought' section. This provides some background information for you, as a teacher starting to deliver activities with a global dimension.

The 'Teachers' food for thought' should provide you with a context to place the work in, ideas on how to organise the activities, places to do further background reading about issues you are unfamiliar with and ideas to share and discuss with your pupils to ensure they get the most out of the activities.

We would welcome your feedback on any of the resources.
