This activity is a fun way to finish off the term but to keep it topical. Suggested use: in groups, half have to argue the case for an artificial tree and the other half have to argue the case for a real tree. The additional information (about Hazel etc) should help them to understand some of the reasons people make choices (i.e. not always for environmental reasons)

It's that time of year again where a bit of fun in the classroom wont do any harm but to keep it topical here are some country dingbats to try on the students...

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!
