Environmental education is the groundwork of environmental protection, aiming at the development of people’s responsibilities towards environment. Simultaneously, the transition from kindergarten to primary school means young children are shifting from informal learning to formal education. It is the fundamental stage of every education curriculum. Mind-sets regarding to environment shaped in early childhoods can directly influence the enhancement of their environmental attitudes and environmental literacy when growing up. In order to encourage children’s curiosity and exploring actions on the subject of natural environment and humanities, and enlighten their awareness of one-self and the environment, Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan, R.O.C thrives to boost the participants’ planning ability on Environmental Education Lesson via workshop. The workshop also invite individuals who are creative, passionately interested in early childhood education as well as environmental education. The total numbers of submitted Lesson plans are 293 countrywide. After initiate selection in writing, district run-off selection and the final countrywide selection, we have chosen 21 district A-Level entries and 3 national A-Level entries, as well as 3 national AA-Level and 3 national AAA-Level lesson plans. These excellent lesson plans can be combined with kindergartens’ environmental education activities. They enable early childhood to understand the importance of environmental protection from early age and inspire them to be passionate about the nature, as well as raise them to constitute a living attitude of valuing lives and protecting natural environment.
