Can you put the places on the map in this twist on a classic game?

Taken from https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/pin-the-place-on-the-map/

Resources

Printed world map
Printed place names or pictures
Sticky tape or sticky tack
Clues, facts, and answers sheet

Instructions

Before you begin:
Put the map on a wall, or on the floor. Make sure everyone will be able to reach it.
Cut out the place names or pictures, so they’re all separate.


Pin the places:
1. Split into small groups.

2. Give each group some of the place names or pictures, and some sticky tape or tack.

3. Groups should talk about where they think each place is on the map. When they’ve decided, someone should use the sticky tape or tack to stick the picture or name to the map.

4. The person leading the game has some clues. They can read some out if any group is struggling with any of the places. Everyone should have a go at taking a leadership role in this team game, so make sure that leaders swap over.

5. The winning team is the first to put all of their places on the map correctly, or the one that needs the fewest clues.


Explore the places
1. Everyone should look at the map. Does anyone know which religion each place is important to, and why?

2. The person leading the game should help everyone understand which religion each place is linked to. They can use the clues and notes sheet to help them. More than one religion might consider some of the places special, so they might have to share them.


Reflection
This game helped you to respect and value others. Is it important to understand what other people believe, and why certain places are special to them? How could you show respect when you talk about (or even visit) a place that has religious significance? How do you think people respect each other when more than one religion has to share a special place? Do you think a place can mean different things to different people?

This game also reminded you that you’re a local, national, and international citizen. How do you think it would feel to live far away from a place that has a lot of religious significance? Have you ever visited any plans of religious significance? We’re all international citizens, even though we believe different things. What sorts of things do you think you might have in common with people who have different special places?
