Column Game- Countries

COUNTRY	Capital	Language	Currency	Famous Person	Food/ Drink	Popular Sport
Spain	Madrid	Spanish	Euro	Antonio Banderas	Paella	Football
China	Beijing	Chinese	Yuan	Mao	Dim sum	Table Tennis
USA	Washing-ton D.C.	English	Dollar	Obama	Steak	Baseball
Germany	Berlin	German	Euro	Hitler	Sausage	Football
France	Paris	French	Euro	Napoleon	Cheese	Rugby

Another column game you can play, based on the same principal described in the previous post, is ‘Countries’ – see image above.

For this the main categories would be things like language, capital, currency, brand, food, sport, famous person.

You can also add or sub-divide into things like famous leader, famous sportsperson, famous dead person, movie, other town (apart from the capital), landmark and so on.

You play just by adding a new country (one relevant to the students’ range of knowledge) in the left-hand column with each round.

If your students come up with any answers you don’t know – for example a Korean pop star you’ve never heard of- just check with the other team and ask them to confirm it’s a bona fide answer.
