Who wants a million points? - Words related to migration and immigration - Year 6

In an interactive classroom activity tailored for Year 6 students, "Who wants a million points?" challenges children to work in pairs and explore words associated with migration and immigration. The game is structured like a quiz, where one student plays the role of the questioner while the other is the contestant. Starting at the 100-point mark, the questioner presents a term related to the topic, such as 'slavery', and if the contestant provides a satisfactory answer, the pair progresses to the next word, valued at 250 points, and so on, with the goal of accumulating as many points as possible.

The educational game features a variety of terms, each carrying a different point value, reflecting their complexity or significance within the context of migration and immigration. For instance, 'immigration' is worth 1,000 points, while 'heritage' jumps to 25,000 points, and the term 'Enoch Powell' sits at the top with a million points. The activity not only encourages students to deepen their understanding of these concepts but also to consider why Britain has historically been a destination for many migrants. If contestants find themselves unsure about an answer, they are permitted to seek help by asking a friend from the class, promoting collaboration and collective learning.
