The colour coded cards represent the correct bin they belong to
Blue cards are recyclable; Green Cards are general waste; Yellow cards are items that should be donated.

Each player starts with an equal number of cards, face-down. Everyone takes turn to flip your card into the pile in the centre.
SHOUT "RECYCLERIGHT!"
when two cards from the same bin appear one after another
The first person to shout “RecycleRight!” gets to say why the two cards belong to the same bin and keeps the cards if the answer is correct. When no player has any cards left, the player with the largest number of cards in his/her pile wins.

- “My daugher enjoys the RecycleRight cards. She developed her own version: we use the A4 paper & draw recycling/donation/general waste bin & plce them on a table. 1 person reads out a card from the deck & the others quickly slam their hands on the correct bin. The hand who is right at the bottom gets the card and the person with most cards wins.”

Sangeeta is very knowledgeable and also knows where the common blindspots are with regards to reducing, reusing and recycling. She has a lot of captivating slides and interesting videos. It ended with a interactive Bingo game that was not only really fun to play, it was also very informative with tips that we can do in our daily lives."

This is such an amazing way to talk about recycling with kids yet in the most fun way, in a way that they completely relate by playing snakes and ladders. Amazing concept of the game. Would certainly recommend to anyone who wants to introduce recycling to kids in a simple fun way.”

“The Karang Guni Trail ® brings our little ones on a sustainability trail. It is an age-appropriate board game that is realistic and helps children to learn more about sustainability in a fun way!”
Ms Jean Ong
an Early Childhood Educator
“The recycling workshop was such a meaningful, engaging and interesting experience for the children as well as teachers. The K1 & K2 teachers shared that children were looking out for the 'Blue Bin' while they were on their weekly visit to the United World College of South East Asia later that day.So much so that the teachers there asked "Why so much interest in the blue bin?" Some of the students shared that they told their parents about the workshop. Some managed to deposit an item in the recycling bin near their homes during the weekend!!”
Ms Amirah
from 4PM Kindergarten
“Students were able to play the games with no prior instructions. The games helped the students to learn about correct behaviours of Recycling, items that can and cannot be recycled. The donations cards helped the students to realise that not all items need to be thrown but can be re-used. As the RecycleRight card game has color-coded cards printed with 1 image per card of recyclables & non-recyclables, it helped the students learn more about different kinds of paper products that can/cannot be recycled. After playing the games, students were able to apply the learning and create impactful messages about RecycleRight that will be displayed in the school.”

Frequently Asked Questions
The Karang Guni Trail ® Board Game contains two games and one sticker sort activity sheet. The Karang Guni Trail and Composting Game shares one game board and the gameplay is similar to snakes and ladder. The sticker sort activity sheet helps the players to reinforce what they’ve learnt about recycling from the games.
For both Karang Guni Trail ® and Recycle Right, we recommend 2 to 4 players and each round would take about 30 mins.
Certainly not! The game format of snakes and ladders has existed for thousands of years and remains popular across all age groups till today. Many versions of it have been designed to promote education on consequences of climate change, on how to face conflict, or to learn local farming cycles. We’re sure your students or family members would learn a lot more about recycling and composting after a few rounds.
In Karang Guni Trail, when you land on a Blue Step, you must pick a Blue Card and answer the question about recycling. If your answer is correct, move forward 1 step. If your answer is wrong, move back 1 step.
The Karang Guni Trail Board Game and Recycle Right Card Game were both created in Singapore by The Eco-Statement as part of a project under the Call for Ideas Fund by the National Environment Agency.
For a standard classroom size of 40 students in Singapore, you may divide the class into groups of 4. Half of the class can play The Karang Guni Trail while the other play the RecycleRight game (an eco card game also published by us). After 30 mins, they can swap over. It’s good to provide an introduction to recycling knowledge before the games commence. We have conducted many workshops for kindergarten kids, primary school classes and secondary school students in the student care centres and the responses were very positive. If you’d like to engage us, contact us below.
Yes, we do. Our games are very popular as educational and engagement activities for an event. We provide the games with facilitators on rental. Please contact us (via email or whatsapp) to learn more.
