Location INDOORS MARINE LITTER HUMAN PHOTOCOPIER
DID YOU KNOW?
Over the past 15 years the amount of marine litter washing up on UK beaches has almost doubled and most of it is plastic which doesn’t biodegrade. Although research tells us that recreational boating is the source of very little litter, boaters still need to make sure nothing goes overboard, not even an apple core!
TASK: RESOURCES: To work in teams to replicate a marine litter poster from memory.
The Green Blue’s ‘How Degrading!’ poster | Colouring pencils | A3 plain paper.
1. 2. 3.
4.
Put participants into teams of 2-4 people. Provide each team with a plain sheet of A3 paper and pencils.
Inform teams they must replicate the ‘How degrading’ poster. The team that reproduces the most accurate copy will win.
You must stand in the corner of the room or facing away from the group and ask for one participant from each team to approach and view the poster. Give them 10 seconds to view the poster. These participants must memorise as much as they can, return to their team and relay the information. The team can then start to draw and colour their blank A3 paper.
5. Call for the next participants from each team to come up and view the poster. Do this as many times as necessary for them to replicate most of the poster.
6. Tell teams to stop drawing.
7. Ask one member of each team to bring their poster to the front and hold it up for everyone to see. Then reveal the original poster for everyone to compare.
8. Choose a winner!
9. Wrap up by discussing whether participants were surprised at how long items took to break down in the water and how boaters can make sure nothing goes overboard.
