- Print the Global Goals poster and the 17 Goals icon posters and post them in your classroom (select Non-UN Entities)
- Share related videos:
- Share about the #GoalsProject and look at the map of the classrooms around the world joining in. GOOGLE MAP
- Have an open class discussion. Discuss how “kids” can make a difference in the world by 2030. Why is it important for students to be involved? What does it mean to take action?
- Share that your classroom will have one Global Goal for the project. Build excitement and suspense all week long by letting students make predictions, guesses, and wishes. At the end of the week, reveal your Class Goal by placing the Goal number (or printed icon) in a sealed envelope or in a wrapped box. Reveal the Goal and celebrate!
