Give me 3 - Places in countries of the UK
Geography Resource Description
The "Give me 3!" activity is an engaging and educational exercise aimed at Year 1 students to help them learn about the geography of the United Kingdom. The task requires the children to name three places within each of the four constituent countries of the UK: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. These places can be a village, town, or city, according to the students' preferences or knowledge.
Each correct entry that the students provide earns them a point, with the goal being to score at least 10 points in total. This means they need to correctly identify at least three locations in at least three of the four countries to meet the minimum score. The activity is timed, giving students 10 minutes to complete the challenge. This exercise not only tests their knowledge of UK geography but also encourages quick thinking and recall. It's a fun way to learn more about where they live and to gain a broader understanding of the different areas within the UK.
