This worksheet on Grenada invites students to explore the country’s geography, political structure, economy, and cultural identity through engaging research tasks. Students begin by gathering key facts such as the capital city St. George’s, official language (English), population, and currency (Eastern Caribbean dollar). The geography section highlights Grenada’s location in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, part of the Lesser Antilles, with a tropical climate, volcanic terrain, rainforests, and beautiful coastlines. In the government and politics section, students examine Grenada’s parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy, its current leadership, and national symbols such as the flag featuring a nutmeg (a key export). The economy portion focuses on agriculture (especially spices like nutmeg and mace), tourism, and services. The culture and society section explores Grenada’s Afro-Caribbean heritage, festivals like Carnival, traditional music and dance, cuisine with Creole influences, and the nation’s strong community spirit. Tourism highlights include Grand Anse Beach, St. George’s harbor, waterfalls, and spice plantations. Reflection questions encourage students to consider how Grenada’s natural beauty, culture, and history shape its national identity.
