Name that feature
Geography Resource Description
The "Name that feature" activity is an engaging educational task designed to help children identify and learn about various coastal features. In this exercise, children are presented with a list of eight different natural and man-made elements commonly found along coastlines, including a coastal path, cliff, cave, beach, sea, waves, pier, and rock pool. The objective is for the participants to match each feature with a corresponding number, writing the correct number in a provided box. This activity not only tests their recognition skills but also reinforces their knowledge of the coastal environment.
For each correct answer, children can earn two points, turning the activity into a fun challenge that encourages careful thinking and attention to detail. The activity is designed to be completed within a 15-minute time frame, making it a concise and focused learning experience. Additionally, the activity prompts a reflective question, "Why do we like to be beside the seaside?" This question encourages children to think about the appeal of coastal areas and the enjoyment they bring. The coast, with its unique features and attractions, offers a multitude of learning opportunities and the chance to appreciate the natural beauty and recreational value of seaside environments.
