These printables are challenging and varied and all centred around the comedy of slapstick. Humour is a great way to engage students in the classroom and this Middle School Resource was great fun in my classes.

Who doesn’t like the magic of city skylines? I do, and my class loves them and these worksheets on city skylines worked great.
The task here is to inspect the city skyline on each worksheet PLUS review the other clue. Then identify the name of the city.
The other clue may be figures about the city, the city’s logo or flag, a map of the city’s area, or a logo of the sporting club that is based in that city.
The task is challenging and fun, and normally requires the student to be creative in how they investigate the answer.
Do I use Google Maps?
Do I use Wikipedia?
Do I try to find the answer by identifying a building on the skyline?
