LIST OF SMELLY THINGS.. WHY DO THINGS SMELL BAD TO US? (To warn us, poison, danger.. maybe categorize things by why they're bad for us?)
ACTION RHYME
GARBAGE! (From: Awesome Story Time) Pick up garbage, and throw it in the bin! Push it down, and stomp it in! Carry the cans to the street for the garbage trucks to eat. When the truck comes roaring by, workers lift the cans up high. Garbage falls into the back. Crush it, mash it, smash it flat! Set the cans down with a thump. Now drive that garbage to the dump!
VIDEOS of garbage trucks, landfill/recycling jobs (Denton's Dirty Jobs was a good choice but is currently only watchable on archive.org)
PebbleGo has a Santitation Workers article.
ONLINE GAMES: sort garbage/recycling for kids old enough to know this.
ART: This is a perfect opportunity to do some upcycled recycled crafting, make something with recycled or thrown/away items.
