Earth Hour
Earth Hour is a special event that takes place once a year on the last Saturday of March. On this day, people around the world turn off their lights for one hour to protect nature and our planet. Imagine it as a huge birthday party for the Earth! Earth Hour is like taking a break while playing with friends to listen to and care for nature. It shows that we care about our planet and want to keep it healthy for ourselves and all the animals and plants.

How it works
-
Make it cozy: Snuggle up in blankets and use candles or flashlights to light up your room. This way, you can tell stories or read books together.
-
Watch the stars: Go outside and look at the sky. When many people turn off their lights, you can see more stars! You might even spot constellations like the Big Dipper.
-
Play games without electricity: Use Earth Hour to play games that don’t need light. For example, 'I spy with my little eye'.
-
Make lanterns: Before Earth Hour, create beautiful paper lanterns that you can light with battery-operated tealights. This way, you have an eco-friendly light source during Earth Hour.
-
Earth Hour is a great way to have fun together and do something good for our planet. Let's celebrate together and show how much we love the Earth!
