My Green Dream Home is a two-part writing and drawing prompt that lets students design and describe the environmentally-friendly house of their dreams. Solar panels? Check. Rooftop gardens? You bet. A composting robot that also does homework? Why not! Students can let their imaginations run wild while learning how small changes can make a big difference for the planet. First, students write about the features of their dream “green” home, how it helps the Earth, saves energy, and maybe even has a bike-powered TV. Then, they bring their ideas to life with a detailed drawing of their eco-inspired masterpiece. The result? A house that’s good for the Earth and display-ready. Ways to Use It: Earth Day writing and art center Creative homework assignment Project-based learning activity Bulletin board or hallway display Why You’ll Love It: Blends creativity with environmental awareness Helps students connect science with writing Encourages problem-solving and design thinking Zero prep, just print and go Great for a range of elementary grade levels Because saving the Earth starts at home, especially if that home has wind turbines and a garden on the roof! 🌱🏡 Pdf file includes 2 pages.
