Geography Worksheet Jelly Baby Geography Worksheet - Paper Version


Get into a group of six people.

You each represent a different country. Give your country a name. Number the countries from 1 to 6.

Divide the sweets up randomly between the group so that each person has the same number of sweets. Leave at least twelve in the central dish. DO NOT EAT ANY OF THE SWEETS - THEY ARE YOUR POPULATION.

The sweets represent your population. Make a note of your population structure.

Blue - Male Adults
Orange - Female Adults
Red - Male Children
Yellow - Female Children
Green - People aged over 65
Pink - Ethnic Minorities

Shuffle the chance cards Geography Resources and put them in the middle of the table.

Each country takes it in turn to take a card from the top of the pile. You must carry out whatever instructions are on the cards. If you lose any of your population DO NOT EAT THEM! Put them back into the central dish.

You will be told when the game ends.
