Sample questions
A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.
Match each imaginary line to what it means.
- the equator
- a meridian
- a line of latitude
- a line of longitude
Read the explanation
The imaginary lines on the globe fix a position.
Match each climate to its character.
- the tropics
- the temperate zone
- the cold zone
- the desert
Read the explanation
Each climate has a character of its own.
Match each continent to what marks it out.
- Asia
- Africa
- Europe
- Antarctica
Read the explanation
The seven continents each differ from the rest.

Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Practise world geography: imaginary lines on the globe, features of climate zones, what each continent is known for, and geographic tools such as maps, globes, compasses and GPS.
What's in the worksheet
4 matching rounds, 4 pairs each - Imaginary lines, e.g. the equator splits the world into north and south; longitude gives east-west position - Climates, e.g. temperate with four clear seasons - Continents, e.g. Africa with the Sahara, Antarctica covered in ice - Tools, e.g. a globe shows the Earth's true shape; GPS gives exact coordinates
How to use it in class
Use after teaching globes and maps, ideally with a real globe in the room; about 6 minutes. - Before round 1, spin the globe and have children point to horizontal and vertical lines and name each kind - In teams, before round 3, have each team list all seven continents - If round 1 goes badly, draw a ladder: latitude lines are like rungs, moving up and down, north and south - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Round 1: meridians and lines of longitude are the same lines, so 'vertical lines pole to pole' and 'gives east-west position' are easily swapped; both descriptions genuinely fit both terms, so a child who swaps them has not answered wrongly. Tell children which pairing the game counts and explain that meridians are the lines of longitude - Round 1: latitude and longitude are often swapped because latitude lines run horizontally yet give north-south position, which feels backwards - Round 3: Europe with many small countries may mean nothing to children; compare maps of Europe and Asia
