Schulbox "Meeresschutz"

Dear educators

Do you have young shark experts in your class? Is "marine conservation" relevant to your teaching? It should be - because marine conservation is human protection, and therefore vital for the future of subsequent generations.

This is where our primary school and nursery programme begins: we introduce children to marine conservation. A wide range of tactile materials plays a major role here — children need to "touch" in order to comprehend. In this way, they develop empathy for the ocean and achieve long-term learning outcomes.

However, our team cannot be everywhere. This is why we have developed the "Marine Conservation" School Box for you to use independently in your classroom.

What is inside the box?

Four games in one box

The ElasmOcean school box contains four tactile games covering different areas.

Picture cards with marine animals on a coloured game board, children categorising them
Playing cards and figurines of sharks and swordfish next to the ocean conservation school box
Miniature wheelie bins with picture cards of everyday objects for sorting
Angel and devil cards over a stack of picture cards on sustainable consumption
Game 1
The marine ecosystem: structure and threats.

A game and craft activity focusing on the ocean. Using a memory game on a poster of the food pyramid, animals are assigned to specific areas within the food web. The impact of human intervention is subsequently illustrated. Participants can color and craft using templates, creating their own marine ecosystem on the poster, which can then be used to decorate the classroom.
