10 photographs showing capital cities of Africa and outline maps, works well if they are laminated and cut up in envelopes.

A revision booklet for Urban (Unit 1) that follows the AQA Geography B textbook. Also sheets that can be copied onto A3 for revision in class or at home.
Uses the format of a recipe to encourage children to think about what makes a perfect Christmas, includes my suggestions, but open to being extended. Surprising how many children forget Christmas is a religious festival!
Uses worldmapper to consider countries with poor sanitation and water quality. Suggest split group into two families to work out which countries/regions firstly have best sanitation and secondly poorest water quality. Makes noises like Family Fortunes,but you will need a copy of the answers for your own information.
Feedback appreciated, thank you

Uses an OS map of Dorset for students to locate coastal features. After watching the short video, students identify coastal features (to ensure that they know which is which there is a matching activity). Students then glue in the OS map of Lulworth Cove area and match photographs to the map. They can choose one feature and explain how it was formed as an extension. Our school is on the coast so you may need to adapt some activities to wherever you are in the country.
Please leave a review.

Sheets need to be cut up and put into numbered envelopes. Students work in groups and are assigned a number. They take one card, and using the information sheet find out the answer.
