The Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc. Name That World Flag quiz is an interactive geography activity that asks students to identify national flags from around the world, helping build visual recognition and global awareness. The quiz presents a series of flag images for students to match with the correct country names, making it a fun way to reinforce learning about world geography. In addition to the flag quiz, Britannica offers many other short quizzes on topics like capitals, countries, science, and culture that can be used for quick checks of knowledge or extension activities across subjects
In the Classroom
Use the flag quiz as a quick daily bell ringer. Students answer a few questions about flags, then turn and talk about the colors, symbols, or patterns they noticed. After taking the quiz, have students choose one flag they missed, research the meaning of its colors and symbols, and then share one fact with the class. Students can write a short reflection explaining which flags were easiest or hardest to identify and why, connecting visual clues to memory and reasoning skills.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This activity simulates some of the real-world mechanisms that cause and sustain poverty in 3rd World countries. You get to manage an African farm and are soon confronted with the difficult choices that poverty and conflict can cause. Unlike typical interactives where it's always possible to prosper by playing cleverly and making the right choices, it is not always like that in 3rd World Farmer. Just as real people die from starvation in desperate situations that they are not responsible for, all it takes for things to go wrong in this activity is one bad harvest, an unfortunate encounter with corrupt officials, a raid by guerrillas, a civil war, a sudden fluctuation in market prices, or another random event that might never happen in industrialized countries. Begin by buying crops, place them in your fields, then continue on to the next steps. A short commercial plays when you enter the site and before access to the activity.

Just choose a subject, then a topic, and choose from options offered to create your own worksheet that can be printed in pdf form. This allows the worksheet to be shown clearly on interactive whiteboards eliminating the need to print each creation. Although it was created for teachers, a more useful purpose may be for students to create their own worksheets to share with other students or for self-practice.

The International Civil Rights Center & Museum site highlights the non-violent protests of the 1960's Greensboro, NC sit-in movement. This site has links to the history of the sit in movement and other civil right movements. There is also a section of photos and videos that is continuously being updated, so be sure to check back frequently. Though this site is relatively new, there are several good historical timelines and chronologies.

In the Classroom
Have your students use the information about the people of the sit-in movement to write a biography. Add drama to your classroom and have students pretend to be one of the protesters. Have them write a monologue and present it to the class. Have students create public service announcement posters using Piclits (reviewed here). Use the announcements that can be found in the image gallery for examples.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
