Introduction to geography
This “welcome to geography bundle” provides everything you need for an engaging and interactive lesson. The bundle includes:
A quiz which can be used both as an assessment of locational geography and could also be used as an “ice-breaker” team-based competition.
An interactive “ice-breaker” worksheet which gets students to engage with others in the class in order to ask 12 geography related questions to as many of their peers as possible.
A “jam-jar” geography worksheet which is an excellent homework task. Using a jam jar, students collect items from their local area (minimum of 6) that say something about where a student lives. This can be followed up next lesson by asking other students to guess where they live. Again, this could be made into a competition.
These resources work extremely well with Year 7, but also work just as well with other KS3 students.
