What belongs in the ocean? And what doesn't? 36 image cards show a mix of litter items and sea creatures. Students are asked to sort the cards into 'MOOP' and 'Not MOOP'. They then categorise the MOOP items into three categories with important messages - 'Never Litter', 'Don't Need' and 'Take Care'.

 

Instructions: Print and laminate all sheets A3 (or A4 if you don't have A3 printing). The first two sheets are instructions. We recommend printing them double sided and the rest of the cards single sided.
