    These sheets give step-by-step instructions to help your pupils make these ‘recycled’ footballs - just like thousands of children in African countries. It’s a great activity to link to a recycling project and can be used to discuss the uses of waste materials in the UK - it’s also a really fun thing to do with your class in the Summer Term!

  2. African recipes

    Simple but tasty African dishes to try out!

    African recipes

    These recipes will spice up your learning about African countries and have been chosen as most are fairly easy to make. Types of food eaten across Africa varies greatly and is partly dependant on access to different ingredients. Often poor families will have to survive on a diet of beans and rice, but when money starts coming into a household and more food is grown, children’s diets become more varied, healthy. . . and tasty! Use the food images gallery to set the scene before you get cooking.

  3. Make an Energy-saving Stove

    Simple mud stove design that saves wood

    Make an Energy-saving Stove

    These stoves are used in Send a Cow training in African countries as they use less wood and take smoke away from the cook. They are also a great idea for a design project for older pupils. You can make them over the period of a few days, depending on the weather, and with a bit of supervision they can be cooking their own food on it within a week! You could also set pupils the task of designing their own versions of the stove using various different materials.
