Wednesday: Earth Day Tribute

Wednesday, April 22, 2020 - Earth Day!

At 12:00 NOON EXACTLY for ONE MINUTE

Listen and let your ‘voice’ RING OUT in Tribute for the Earth!

Activity: You say Earth… I say…? HOME?	On Earth Day go outside your home or from your window ring whatever ‘bells’ you have. You and your family at home can join our churches and others in an ALL TOWN BELL RINGING as one community in celebration of Earth Day. Just ringing along is GREAT! IF you want to do MORE you can also let your actual voice be heard by making a short video and sharing it to be posted on the Town’s Earth Week page. Video yourself (or someone else) saying: “When you say ‘EARTH,’ I say…..” [finish the sentence with 1 word, or a phrase, or a sentence.] Then ask an adult to watch it and post it using Twitter #GreenwichEarthWeek
Timing:	BELL RINGING IS AT EXACTLY TWELVE NOON FOR ONE MINUTE Post your “You say Earth, I say…..” video any time before or on Earth Day!
Materials:	Whatever you have that you can ring - be creative! BUT BE SURE TO SOLVE THIS IN PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE 12:00 Look at home for… A bell or bells - xmas sleigh bells, chimes, a child’s bell... A phone with youtube church bells and a speaker A musical instrument/horn 2. A cell phone and an adult to preview your video
Result:	A real-time connection to others in our community A collection on our Town website of what all contributors think Earth means to them! In their “I say…” video and an Earth-shaped word cloud
How to Share:	Just join in at 12 noon! Optional post to share your photos and/or video - hashtag for the Town at #GreenwichEarthWeek
Extensions:	Help create a WORD CLOUD from every student that submits a word that means “earth” to them! Add your word HERE! Join Earth Institute today to celebrate Earth Day!
