Migration to Britain : Matching challenges

A set of linked resources and activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of migration to Britain.
These resources are designed specifically to help with developing an awareness of those who have moved to live in Britain.
This is linked to our other resources on the topic so features twenty groups of people and twenty individuals who have moved to Britain.
There are two activities which involve matching either people to their reason for moving or an individual and a key point about them; ideal for use as a challenge that covers knowledge in a different way to a conventional worksheet.
The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date, organised in sets of 10 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level.

The second is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; these feature the same events and each ‘card’ links to another forming a ‘domino’ like chain (which can be used as a set of 5 or both combined for greater challenge).

They are suitable for use in class -both as a main activity and as an extension task- as well as for homework / independent study or a cover lesson activity (maybe even as staff challenge!)
