Description

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

Courtesy of the Scouts.org. uk website: 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.
