Most of our activities are suitable as classroom activites and others can be used for homework. There are also activities for fundraising, craft and notes for teachers.
All of our activities are free but you can help to support the work of Roots & Shoots in the UK by making a donation, no matter how small. The easiest way to donate to the Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots programme UK online is by using Virgin Money Giving. This can be a one off donation for any amount you want (every pound helps!) or if you prefer you can set up a regular, monthly donation.
Activities
Roots & Shoots activities are available in themed sets, each based around a possible future world. Each themed set comes with a mission briefing comic giving information on the future world, teacher briefing notes and a set of activities that can used together or singly.

Dustbowl Activities
In the Dustbowl Mission Chrono-bot R00T5 travels to a future where crops have failed leading to dust storms, and Kent is a strange, almost lunar landscape, with little or nothing growing. Conservation of pollinating insects today can prevent future crop failure and the resulting catastrophic dust storms. What can YOU do to help? More activities for The Dustbowl are coming your way soon...

Iceworld Activities
In the Iceworld Mission, Chrono-bot 5H00T5 travels to a future where the gulf stream has shifted due to climate change, leaving Scotland frozen. The smallest improvement in the rate of climate change today could help, so the more energy we can individually save the better! We have a whole host of activities to help you and your students do this.

Waterworld Activities
In the Waterworld Mission Chrono-bot R00T5 travels to a future where East Anglia is flooded and marshy.

Activities for Waterworld are coming your way soon...

Gombe Activities
Chronobots R00T5 & 5H00T5 are at the Gombe 50th Anniversary celebrations. Chief Agent Jane tells them how things have changed over five decades of hard work. Chronobot 5H00T5 goes back in time to see how things used to be when the project first started, while R00T5 travels forward in time to the Gombe 100th Anniversary celebrations. In the future, R00T5 sees that continued application of the Roots & Shoots programme has ensured a balanced and prosperous life for the people, animals and environment of Gombe. However, back in the past, 5H00T5 has caused the young Chief Agent Jane to lose her notebook! Without the notebook the foundations of Roots & Shoots as we know it may never happen. We need YOUR HELP to piece together the information Jane will need....
