This fun and engaging game is the perfect way to review, study or reflect with your class on ANZAC day I typically put the class into small groups and ask a member of the group to choose a color and number. That is the question that they have to answer. If correct they get one point. Then I move to the next group. Alternatively the whole class answers and then we tally up the points to get a winner. I run it on an interactive whiteboard but would be equally successful on a projector, computer or TV screen. Alternatively it could be run for an individual student on their own device. When you start the game press the shuffle button to randomize the questions ensuring that no game is ever the same. This means that this Jeopardy game can be used multiple times with the one class as it is different every time. Once you have unzipped the file you will find a PowerPoint Macro Show. To run the game double click the file and make sure you say “yes” to running macros. If you do not the questions will not shuffle correctly. I have tested on a PC but it should work on other devices. If this is your first time with Macros let me know by personal message and I am happy to answer all your questions.

Here is a unit that creates student interest and opportunity for class discussion about the need to maintain and protect World Heritage Sites. You will see that the material within this standalone unit cuts across curriculum topics of history (Buddhism/building phase); geography (environment/location), religion (Buddhism/Islam) and slots into studies of World Heritage sites. This unit touches on historical trade routes (The Silk Road) and provides an opportunity to reflect on the current political insecurity of Afghanistan. Despite widespread objections the Taliban of Afghanistan reduced the Giant Buddhas to rubble. In 2003, two years after their destruction UNESCO listed the caverns which once contained the giant Buddhas as “endangered sites”. So why did the destruction occur? Follow the process and allow opportunity for discussion and debate. The attached worksheet provides opportunity for a fill-in activity.

Living in the rainforests and mountains of northern Brazil and southern Venezuela, the Yanomami are the largest relatively isolated tribe in South America. Today their population stands at around 32,000 and their territory covers 9.6 million hectares, twice the size of Switzerland. These worksheets help the students to explore the set up of the Yanomami village, the daily lives and rolls of the girls/mothers and boys/fathers, as well as investigating the use of paint to decorate their faces and bodies.

High in the Andes Mountains of South America live the Quechua tribe. They live by farming potatoes, barley and maize, as well as other crops. They keep cattle, sheep, chickens and…llamas. Llamas are close cousins of camels, minus the hump, and come in very handy for riding and carrying heavy loads. These worksheets have the students explore how llamas and the Quechua Tribes have adapted to their environment and how, with our changing climate, the llamas and Quechue could continue to adapt.

Around 2,200 Matsés live on the Peru-Brazil frontier in the Amazon rainforest. The international boarder that splits their home is the Yaquerana River and it runs through the heart of their land. To the Matsés the streams, floodplains and white-sand forests make up an ancestral territory that is shared by the entire tribe. These worksheets have the students look closely at the acate green tree frog which, as well as being a culinary delicacy, are used to increase hunting ability. Additionally the students investigate an oil company who are exploring the Matses’s land to drill.

Matmata is a small Berber speaking town in southern Tunisia with a population of about 2,226 who live in traditional underground structures. This type architecture is based on localized needs and construction materials, and reflecting local traditions. It evolves over time to reflect the environmental, cultural, technological and historical content in which it exists. These methods can often be dismissed as crude and unrefined. These worksheets have the students explore the Matmata People’s homes and debate whether having a Star Wars picture filmed at the location would have a positive ro negative affect on their lives.

The Kayapo are the indigenous people of Brazil. They live in the plains of the Mato Grosso and Para south of the Amazon Basin and along the Rio Xingu and its tributaries. They call themselves ‘Mebengokre’, which translates to ‘people of the wellspring’. These worksheets have the students explore the Kayapo’s beliefs, examine the differences and simalarities between us and them, as well as giving them an opportunity to research the tribe by answering their peers questions about them

The Chagga people have lived on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro for hundreds of years, they believe the mountain is holy and treat it with respect. However, since the area was given National Park status in 1970 there has been a sharp increase in hikers. These worksheets have the students imagining they run a local primary school, however the families struggle to afford the uniforms, shoes, books and lunches which result in many children not attending. Their task is to decide how best to use aid money to help try double attendance to the school.

The most endangered tribe in the world live deep in the Amazon rainforest, they are an ancient group of around 400 who carry everything they own; their children, their weapons and their pets. These people are so close to being wiped out forever that they are kept safe, away from the modern world. As a result, very few people have ever met the Awá. These worksheets have the students gather information from a video and use it to explain the plight and rescue of the Awa Tribe.

To live on a tropical island under tall palm trees with the white sand between their toes, surrounded by the clear blue sea is many people’s dream, however to many it is a reality – with the trials which come with such places. These worksheets and activities look specifically at The Pitcairn People.

Alongside the numerous animals which call the rainforest home there are about 1.5 million people, and they have been there for thousands of years. They are able to get everything from the forest including their food, homes, clothes, medicines and more. In return, the rainforest is treated with great respect, making sure no harm is done to it. These worksheets and activities look specifically at The Kayapo Tribe, The Yanomami Tribe, The Matsés Tribe and The Awá Tribe.

Amazingly around 500 million people live on mountains – that’s about a tenth of the Earth’s population. So how do these people learn to live and survive such harsh conditions? These worksheets and activities look specifically at The Chagga People, The Sherpa People and The Quechua Tribe

The polar opposite of living on a tropical island, the idea of living in the arctic is not most people’s idea of home. With no vegetation or natural shelter it is hard to believe that some do call this landscape home and overcome the harsh conditions. These worksheets and activities look specifically at The Inuit People

The savannah alternates between wet and dry seasons and for each special skills are needed to survive. Vegetation is sparse while dangers are many but tribes are still found in these areas. These worksheets and activities look specifically at The Maasai Tribe

Living in the deserts is incredibly hard but a staggering 650 million people live there – that’s 13% of the world’s population! They have perfected ways to keep cool and to find water where there is seemingly none. These worksheets and activities look specifically at The San People and The Matmata People

Shanty towns can be found in on the outskirts of many large cities especially in LEDCs. The people living here have to contend with harsh environments with access to little clean water, electricity and struggle to get jobs and capital. These worksheets have the students consider which elements are most important for survival, how they would trade with others and work with local authorities to better their lives

These worksheets highlight to students how many indigenous tribes can be found around the world and where. The pattern of their location and choice of environment are discussed also

Here is a chance for your students to get a little creative. In groups they need to use information they have gathered from studying tribes to create their own. A spider diagram is provided to help them include as much information as possible
