Give me 5 - Kenya

The "Give me 5 - Kenya" activity is an engaging educational exercise that invites children to explore the rich biodiversity and agricultural heritage of Kenya. Participants are tasked with listing five fruits that are cultivated within the country, showcasing Kenya's varied and fertile landscapes that support a wide range of fruit production. Additionally, the children must identify five wild animals that inhabit the Masai Mara, one of Kenya's most renowned wildlife reserves known for its spectacular natural diversity and as the setting for the annual Great Migration. This task not only promotes knowledge of Kenyan flora and fauna but also encourages children to consider the country's unique ecosystem.

Each correct answer is rewarded with two points, incentivising the children to think carefully and recall information they have learned about Kenya. The activity has a duration of 15 minutes, providing a concise yet focused timeframe for the children to brainstorm and discuss their answers. The final reflective question asks the children to contemplate how their lives might differ if they were residents of Kenya. This introspective element of the activity encourages children to engage with the cultural, environmental, and lifestyle differences between their own lives and those of people living in Kenya, fostering a sense of global awareness and empathy.
