Rachel Atkins and Andrew Dimberline have devised a game to help students learn about population change
This article describes a game-based activity that helps key stage 4 students understand how population change is influenced by a variety of factors. It is best played after a basic introduction to migration, within a unit on population studies. It enables students to look at not only population totals but also at population changes, such as ethnic diversity and dependency ratios, which may occur within a population.
Below you’ll find all the documents you need to play the game. If you want to read the instructions before downloading all the files, start by downloading the first file in the list.
