The Best Solutions to Climate Change

• In this interactive fortune-telling game, students explore four potential solutions to climate change and get their "fortunes" read using informational "Tarot" cards about empowering girls and women, eliminating food waste, using more renewable energy, and switching to plant-rich diets. 
• Students will watch a short video about each solution, choose the solution they think is the best, and answer questions to see if the solution they chose aligns with their answers. 

Positives

• The game's fortune-telling theme is fun and engaging.
• It ends with a positive and empowering message about how students can make a difference in stopping climate change.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• There is a help button to assist students if they are having trouble navigating the game.
• Students must watch all the videos for the "Next" button to appear and move on.
• Students cannot go back in the game. They will need to start over from the beginning.
• Students should already be familiar with how and why the climate is changing.

Differentiation

• For science classes, this is a great resource to introduce some of the major solutions to climate change and tie them into lessons about the carbon cycle, photosynthesis, decomposition, and the energy lost at each trophic level.
• If there is limited access to technology, students could complete the game with a partner/small group or teachers could run the game as an entire class and have students vote on the best solution.
• After the game, students could use this guide and this resource about the top individual solutions and write to one of their representatives about enacting local solutions to climate change.
• To start implementing solutions at your school, check out this guide to starting a meatless Mondays program and this one about putting solar panels on your school.
• Other resources related to climate change solutions include this video by The YEARS Project, this table of solutions by Project Drawdown, and this lesson plan by SubjectToClimate.
