Wonderful for the classroom...
Each card represents one of 194 countries.
The Nation's flag is on one side of the card and the other side shows its capital city in a nice text box, on a map of the country within its continent. Underneath are 2 facts... mostly A1 to B1 English, but I find them challenging enough also for B+ students due to difficult spelling and pronunciation like 'mountainous' and relative clauses:
A few cards say things like: "Consists of nine low atolls among the South Sea Islands, which are in danger of disappearing should the water level rise".
Most cards say things like: "It is an agricultural country west of Russia"
Each card is colour coded according to the country's continent, which makes it easier to categorise the cards and therefore to sort and choose the ones you want for your lessons...
The product suggests 5 different games, which are all worthy, but it's the cards that provide inspiration for many other games, in my opinion, and which you can adapt to your own students and topics.
They are great as a visual resource when you are teaching Nations and Nationalities... (also saving expensive printing of coloured flags from free websites if you are a freelance tutor, for example)
The game comes with an A3 size map of the world and on the reverse of this are all the flags (The convenient A3 size means it can be photocopied quite well and used as a stand alone resource and especially for creating many other of your own 'made up' games to use within the EFL classroom).
I'm not sure how long the cards will last, as they are quite flimsy. Fine for a family I'm sure, but won't last a year in a busy language classroom... PLASTIFICATE as I'm sure this'll be a resource you'll use again and again.... (also thick cellotape does the trick!)
I also use them for .... 'Taboo', 'Guess the country', 'where have you been?' 'where would you like to go...'
The students like them and they like learning the geography, probably more than learning the English names!
Great for a quick game that you whip out of your bag at the end of a lesson (or when you've got a nasty cold, and can't prepare much) .... but also as a resource to use in your complete lesson plan...
Highly recommend!
