Children's Currency - Countries of the World
Created | Updated Sep 17, 2004
This is a collaborative entry to help invent a currency for children. Instead of identical notes or coins being circulated the children will try and collect a set of cards which they can earn (one at a time) for being involved in positive social activities.
In this particular set (Countires of the world) the card will have a picture of the outline of the country. It will also have the name of the country. There will be a set of 6 facts about the country which can be compared with other cards so that a simple game can be played which will encourage the children to learn the facts.
Facts could include:
The main language(s) spoken
The size of the population
The highest mountain (and its height)
The longest river (and the length)
Ths size of the country in (square miles/kilometers)
The capital city (and the population of it)
If you think you can add a card please try and give all the details at once in one posting - this will make it easier to cut and paste into the main article.
Also if you know of a source of a picture of the country in question that would be great.
