Ages 12+
Students become travel agents. Put the groups at different tables around the room with their posters and world maps. Invite another class in and let them go around the room in groups talking to the ‘travel agent’ groups about the trip they have planned; the ‘travel agent’ students have to really ‘sell’ their trip by telling the others about all the exciting things they will do and explaining why the countries they have chosen will be really great – they can mention all of the details they have found about the food, customs, etc. You may want to set up this activity in a similar way to speed dating (where groups from the other class get 3 minutes to talk to a group of travel agents before moving on to the next group). When the students from the other class have heard about all of the different trips, they have to decide which trip they would like to go on. The group with the most people interested in their trip is the winner.
Activity 10: Writing and reading
Ages 12+
Students in each group write an imaginary diary entry for their first, second and 100th day on the trip. Alternatively, each member of the group writes about a different day of the trip and shares this with their teammates.
