A spread from an online flip book about climate change related activities. This page has two games on it: climate bingo and a climate themed snakes and ladders. The bingo sheets have illustrated icons for things like plastic, grow your own, co-housing, mending, recycling and so on. The snakes and ladders has orange and yellow squares with things like "you cut down a forest!" or "you invested in clean energy! Advance 4 squares"
