Journey Around the World

The panel depicts a world map. On the different continents, you can see illustrations of typical local fauna and flora, geographical characteristics, important monuments, activities,... The map was designed to address geography in a creative, playful way and is therefore not scientifically accurate. 

• Start the game in the same way, by telling a story about a trip around the world. Now, the player who guesses the right country/continent continues the story himself and so on.
• Make the game more difficult, by only using gestures to describe the country/continent or by only talking in a made-up language.
• Stereotypes: Name some common stereotypes about a certain region/country/... The players guess what the stereotypes are about and try to come up with other examples.
• Compass directions: Let the players travel around the world, going north, south, east and west.
• Made in...: Grab a piece of waste material or a piece of clothing and look for its place of production or origin, e.g.: a toy that is made in China. The players indicate the country on the map and discuss how the toy got to their country.
• Utopia: The players think of their ideal country. What would be the rules? What would it look like? Which animals would live there? etc. They can draw the country as well. 

• Learn the locations of countries/continents.
• Raise awareness about different cultures and customs.
