More information

Teach climate, landscape, culture, transport, routine.

Focus on one aspect only — e.g. what would you eat for breakfast?

Can students explain how the geography of a place (climate, landscape) affects how people live there?

Entirely imagination and discussion. No materials needed.

Students often assume all countries are similar to their own. This activity directly challenges that assumption.

Builds empathy, global awareness, and place knowledge.
