    2) Activity: A game with crowns – 10 min
    We start with choosing 6 students, after that we put a crown on each student. The crowns have flags on them of each country that take place in our project. Then we made them to take in alphabet order without knowing which flag they have. After that they should be in scale order. The biggest country must be 1st.

     3) Activity: A game with flags – 10 min                                                                                               
    We separate the class in 6 groups, each group have a sheet of paper. On this sheet there are six flags on every country. 1st they must connect every country with its capital city and then they must colour fill the flags in appropriate color. The 1st group win the game.

    4) Activity: A game with lost dog searching home – 10 min
    Every group have sheet of paper where a dog have lost his way back to home. To find the way students must decide which one of two landmarks is in the pointed country. There are pictures and they should recognize which one actually exist in this country. 1st one is the winner.
