'Europe Day', May 9

  • 3 hours ago
  • 2 min read

Here is a new game for 'Europe Day' on May 9. The idea is to print out screenshots, or open a picture and start a slide show, and ask members which country each picture belongs to - Wales, France, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, England or Sweden. There are ten pictures for each country - see answers below. Make time to step for discussion as you work through the pictures.


I do hope that you have fun with this one. Please do let me know in comments below how it works out.
