BC Green Games is a province-wide competition for students in Kindergarten to Grade 12, designed to motivate action, enable sharing and reward and celebrate the green efforts of schools in BC.
The steps to participate include:
1.1. Register! Beginning October 2009, teachers may register student teams.

Working as a team, students will do the following:

- document their actions that help solve the challenge
- measure changes in behaviour of community members as a result of these actions
Projects may include but are not limited to topics like the following:
- climate change
- greenhouse gas reduction

Projects that fit into BC Green Games submission guidelines and are action-based projects facilitated by an established environmental education program are encouraged.
BC Green Games was developed in collaboration with the BC Ministry of Education, the Environmental Educator's Provincial Specialist Association (EEPSA), and the North Vancouver and Richmond School Districts.
