Spot the difference - poverty comparison
Use the Povertron to compare lifestyles
The Povertron is a machine used by Gold the cow on Cowforce.com to compare everyday items in a kitchen in the UK with their Ugandan equivalents. So, when she points to the electric light bulb, the Povertron converts it to a paraffin lamp in Uganda. This can lead to some interesting discussion about ways of life, consumption and what it means to be poor. The Spot the difference sheet is a simple activity to record learning from this activity.

Simple but fun playground game
A Rwandan ball game for the playground which Rose from Rwanda plays, much like more traditional forms of play from the UK. It is quite easy to explain, but difficult to do! A good outdoor activity for an Africa day breaktime.
