1 Type: Set of 30 country cards Level: Primary and Secondary Purpose: To highlight global inequality and help students understand that many countries experience a different lifestyle to what we have in New Zealand. Sources: Data was obtained in July 2017 from various sources including UNHDP, World Bank, World Atlas, Worldometers, The Lancet Journal, The Economist Group and Our World in Data. All images were from Wikimedia Commons and Pixabay. Continuum Activity [Designed for a class of 30 students] Give each student in the class a country card. Decide on a measure (e.g. ). Get students to make an ordered line from lowest to highest. Ask students to call out their countries in order. Discuss any surprises or feelings after looking at the spread visually. Change the measure and examine the movement of countries. Collect the Highest [Designed for 2-6 players] Players shuffle the cards and deal them out equally. Cards are kept in a pile in the hand and players look only at their top card. The youngest player starts and chooses a measure from their country that they think may be high. They call out that measure to other players. Players take turns at calling out their statistic for that measure. The player with the highest statistic keeps all the cards (placing them under their pile. In the case of a draw, all the cards from that round are placed in the middle and the player to the left of the last caller is the new caller. The next winner gets the current cards and the cards in the middle too. Players are eliminated when they run out of cards. Extra Ideas For classes of more than 30, get students to choose a different country to research to find out about their measures to increase the cards to be used. A student could be given the task of putting the countries in order based on a specific measure. Then they could feedback to the class their findings. The winner will end up with the entire set of cards. Understanding the measures used s are current estimates. is the Human. is enrolment in primary school.
