Grasslands
Activities to help you can connect with nature and learn more about our planet's grasslands from home.
Our grasslands are shrinking.
Our planet’s grasslands are the rich home to our big land-based animals, but they’re also shrinking. Life in our grasslands depends on space. Below you'll find a series of engaging resources and activities to help you connect with nature and learn more about our planet's grassland habitats; from creative 'make-it' events, to educational worksheets and a live webinar with a WWF expert. If you’re a teacher, download our Educator Guide for further curriculum linked activities for Key 2 and 3.
