~Geography: Mindbender's Game of Australia~ Grades 6 on up.

Become an expert on the geography of Australia just by playing a game!

· Includes a map of Australia for reference. A great way to familiarize your students with the geography of Australia. “Highly engaging!”

· 8 questions that can be used as a game where the students are divided into small groups of 2 to 3 (use the classroom seating arrangement as a guide). Students may record their answers on paper or respond as an oral class activity.

· Here is an example…

Say to the class: “The clues for today’s geography mindbender… Where am I, in which of the six Australian states… it is the largest of the six states and includes these three cities: Perth, Rockingham, and Kalgoorlie…?” (Students may use the map that has been provided in addition to any additional resources that are available.) According to the answer key (page 6) that has been provided for the teacher, students should come up with the answer of Western Australia.

· A follow-up activity to this would be to have students make up their own geography mindbenders for another country that you are studying or that you just want to learn more about in terms of its geography.

· Includes an Easel, self-correcting, Assessment.
