Using the sheets, discuss with the YP the information relating to the accompanying country.
Couple this with a game or activity: blow football for Zimbabwe (each YP has a straw, place ping pong ball on table, mark out 'goals' and have a blow football tournament. Each child is given a sticky label with a county's name on, they are representing that country. Each YP takes it in turn to play a game of blow football until the last 2 'country's' are left to compete).
Build a spaghetti tower for Italy (or can use lego) - using uncooked spaghetti and marshmallows (mini and regular size) and give each 'six' an Italian monument that they must replicate (eg: tower of pisa, collosseum etc).
Long distance basketball for USA - place a bucket on a chair, in their sixes, take it in turns to try to get the ball into the bucket by bouncing the ball off the floor from a specified distance away.

In addition, provide some food from the countries listed for the YP to try.
Italy - Pizza, Pasta, Gelato and Espresso
USA - Apple Pie and fried Chicken
Zimbabwe - Raw Boerewors (spicy sausage) is served with sadza - note: it is suggested that you trial making sadza a few times first as it can be tricky to get the recipe correct.
