Countries and nationalities

Countries and nationalities mind map

States and nationalities gamesThere are many different states and nationalities in the world and we cannot know all of them. However, it is necessary that you know your own nationality and the name of your state. Moreover, I think that you should know at least the names of the most populous countries. That is why I have created the following post. There is a video presentation of 15 countries and nationalities. Then there are these states presented in a mind map and several quizzes to practice the new vocabulary.

After watching the videos above you can ask the students to fill in the following mind map with the correct states and nationalities. If you do not want to teach the nationalities, you can ask your students to fill in the name of the state and all the things they can say in English about each state. (e.g. Italy, pasta, Rome).

    Unfortunately, you haven`t pointed our state name - Ukraine. There is the name of Russia instead. Without any political comments I must say that you are incorrect and enjoying your game in principle I cannot play it with my child. Is it possible to change this frame?

    The problem with The Ukraine is the fact that the name is irregular. There has to be the article THE which is confusing for the students. The states are selected on the basis of their size and population. I do not want to discuss politics here.

    Hi, Can I ask sth? In your comment above, you (administrator) explained sth about "the". But I don't understand this. Are these countries used with "the" or another thing? Can you say sth? Thanks.

    Only some of the names have got THE. Most of them go without THE.

    It's Ukraine, not the Ukraine. It was changed 30 year ago.

    Thank you, for the information. I remember that this used to be the exception, but I had no idea that it has changed. But as the war started I realised that I was wrong. I will correct it ASAP. Thanks again.
