Identifying, Mapping, and Personifying Countries Involved in WWII

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Get artsy with this WWII group activity, starting with a whole-class assignment. Create a map of Europe, Northern Africa, and the Pacific using geometric shapes cut from construction paper and placed on the floor. Consider splitting the class into 3 groups to ensure participation. After using the map to review country relationships, groups role play and personify various countries, sharing their feelings in first person. Finally, review which countries are allies.
