A geography worksheet for mapping countries in Europe that take part. Children can choose 12 countries from the list provided, find them on the map and make a key. If you wanted to differentiate it, you could print it out twice and fill in the key for one already. I would recommend copying the map on A3 paper to make it easier for children. I also added a two pages long information sheet with facts about the past, this year’s games and the mascot. This could be used for research (individually or whole class) when making posters/leaflets etc. or to get the kids 'hooked… PLEASE NOTE: This is only one resource. I also sell a pack of 6 UEFA resources (this one included) for £3.99 - search for ‘UEFA EURO 2024 Germany Activities’ by JennyGodfrey. THANK YOU.

Here some resources I made for my class for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2016 in France. This pack includes: 1. A two pages long information sheet with facts about the past, this year's games and the mascot. This could be used for research (individually or whole class) when making posters/leaflets etc. 2. A 4 pages long comprehension based on the fact sheet. The text is on the top half of the sheet and questions are below for children to answer. It is differentiated in a higher and a lower comprehension - one with mostly retrieval and one with retrieval and some inference questions. 3.

Maths sheet on bar charts: Children read the table of who was in the final in the past and what their results were and make a bar chart of how many goals were scored in each final throughout the years and answer some challenge questions about it. Differentiated - one is more scaffolded and the bar chart has been prepared, the other needs children to label their own bar chart (differentiated in bar charts going up in 1s, 2s, 5s). There is also another sheet where children choose 5 countries and represent in a bar chart how many times each country has participated in the final. 5. Maths activity on finding all possibilities: Differentiated three ways. Children have the task of designing a new football kit for their favourite country and have to choose three (four) colours. They then find all possible ways of putting a new kit consisting of either shorts and t-shirt or shorts, t-shirt and socks together for their chosen colours. This activity comes with a notebook file to model. 6. This is an activity based on the flags of the participating countries in the EURO 2016 in France. There is one sheet with all the names of the countries and their flags which is followed by 4 activity sheets: 1. Comparing two flags. Children choose two flags, draw them and compare them - what is the same and what is different. 2. Sorting the flags into symmetrical and non-symmetrical. 3. A blank Venn diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the flags into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). 4. A blank Carroll diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the shapes into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). 7. Maths - Adding several numbers (single digit, multiples of 10/100 and adding several two-digit numbers - differentiated) using several top UEFA EURO '16 footballers' names printed on the sheet. Enjoy!

This resource was made with year 2 in mind but is really suitable for infants and lower juniors. It consists of four parts: INFORMATION BOOK Children can do their own research using this 16 page long information book that I created about Brazil. It is attached in two formats: pdf and word doc so it can be edited. The contents of the book are as follows: 1. Country - Where is it? - What is the land like? - Rivers and Waterfalls - Cities - Weather 2. Sports - Football - Formula 1 - Volleyball - Pele 3. Olympic Games Rio 2016 - Olympic Games - Paralympic Games 4. Carnival 5. The Rainforest - What is the Rainforest - What do we get from the Rainforest? - Sad Fact! - What are the layers of the Rainforest? 6. Glossary COMPREHENSION SATs style comprehension based on the information book. It is differentiated for WT (Working towards), E (expected) and WAGD (Working at greater depth). BOARD GAME A board game where children can play in partners. It helps them recall facts learnt from the booklet about Brazil eg about the rainforest, weather, Olympics etc. POSTER ACTIVITY Children work in groups of three and create a poster about Brazil using the information book as starting point. They have the attached sheet as their success criteria which reinforces what needs to go on a poster (heading, sub-heading, facts, pictures, etc). They work together as team (criteria for that on sheet as well) and present the information using their neatest presentation skills. Can be differentiated by giving different children different roles eg scribe, researcher, illustrator... Teacher can then go around and in good old competition style give children stickers/points for each bit of the success criteria they have met. Winning team is the team that has the most stichers/points. I gave out stickers/points for each sub-heading and paragraph of information. My class loved it. Took them all morning and they were so engaged they wouldn't even want to go out for play! :)

I also added an information sheet about the Euro 16 :) Enjoy! PLEASE NOTE: This is only one resource.

Two differentiated sheets for mapping South America. Children make their own key of countries or fill in the key by colouring in the countries of South America. The challenges are based on Brazil and mapping cities/rivers. Works best when copied on/blown up to A3. Map for both attached in case your school has no atlases or not enough to go round. Attached as PDF and WORD (same sheets). Please see the 3 screen shots for detailed preview which can be found in the preview to the right.

A very quick worksheet on a powerpoint that printed in A3 will allow children to map the 32 participating countries - there is a key at the bottom with numbers so children can colour in the country and instead of writing its long name, just number it. powerpoint can be used as lesson starter as all countries are listed again there (with their flags) and a political world map is attached for explaining how to map. Enjoy/

Use the map in the powerpoint for children to find the castles pictured in the word document. They then use the map they have to mark on their own blank map where the castles are.

Use this to introduce motte and bailey castles and get the children to discuss where the best loction would be to build one.

EAL friendly map symbols resource. PDF: Introduce to class that this is a seaside map (slightly adapted) and get them to find map symbols in paris. IWB: Talk about symbols with children. Word Doc: Children can now find the photos for the symbols and the correct words. They match them.
