Description and Evaluation

The cards present four families, each with a different lifestyle. Lifestyles are characterised by consumer behaviour, by hobbies, by the choice of the vehicle and by the way the family consumes water, energy and electricity.
The Kids4Energy-teaching material includes 20 pictures cards and one instruction booklet. This instruction booklet is available in French, English and German.
The game variations of the Kids4Energy-teaching material are a highly suitable background material for class discussions and can be used to stimulate work in groups.
To get the cards, you have to send a cheque of 8 Euro at cler's name. Two exemplars are given for free for CLER's members
