Using the lyrics to ‘Do they know its Christmastime?’ by Band Aid, your students look at whether the descriptions in the song are correct in referring to Africa. They go on to explore the human and physical effects of lack of water, examine some long and short term solutions to desertification and put forward their own ideas and opinions of short term solutions offered by Water Aid.

Just for a bit of fun before the end of term…this quiz has four parts which asks your students to identify ten countries by their outlines, name ten famous landmarks from an image and its location, answer ten geography general knowledge questions and to name ten seasonal songs by a snip-bit taken from them. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas seems to arrive earlier each year and become more frantic to-boot! I saw this idea a few months back and thought it could be a fun activity with a tutor group or clubs – Especially as my partner pointed out that so many advent calendars appear to have no reference to Christmas apart from the twenty-four little doors. The idea is a fun and selfless way to celebrate the countdown to Christmas Day, giving us all time to pause and think about the season’s true and original meaning. I have included twenty-four ideas of my own, however you may have some of your own personal ones to include. Your students may wish to make their own up as a class, in group or individually.
