Earth Day 2025

At Jigsaw, we believe that Earth Day is more than just a moment to reflect—it’s an opportunity to take meaningful action in our classrooms and communities. To help teachers integrate sustainability into their lessons, we’re offering a free resource pack designed to inspire students and create a lasting impact.

This comprehensive pack includes interactive activities, lesson ideas, and thought-provoking resources that explore how different worldviews approach the care of the planet. Whether it’s exploring the ethical perspectives of various faiths or taking learning outdoors to connect with nature, these resources align seamlessly with Jigsaw RE’s focus on fostering understanding, empathy, and responsibility.

By integrating Earth Day activities into your RE lessons, you’ll inspire students to think critically about their role in caring for the Earth, while promoting a deeper connection between spiritual teachings and sustainability.
