I’m excited to announce that I will be presenting the Sustainability Game at the 2025 Celebrating Our Montessori Children Conference! If you’ve been looking for a fun, interactive way to bring sustainability into your classroom, this is the perfect session for you.

This year, the conference will be held at the University of Wisconsin River Falls University Center, and I’ll be presenting in the Involvement Center presentation area from 2:00 PM to 3:15 PM—the perfect time to break up the afternoon and get your body and mind moving after lunch.

Why Should You Attend?

The Sustainability Game isn’t just another lecture—it’s an active, hands-on experience where you’ll actually play the game as part of the presentation. By the time you join me in the afternoon, your lunch should be digested, and you’ll be ready to get up, stretch, and engage with this unique game that helps you learn while you play. It's the perfect remedy for that afternoon slump!

The game is designed to be easy enough for young children to understand, but don’t let that fool you! It’s layered with strategies and challenges that will be a challenge for your older students. So, whether you teach toddlers or teens, you’ll walk away with valuable insights on how to use the game with your students.
