• A six-sided die
• Preferred teacher resources

Instructional Activities

1. Review the content from the previous session.
   
   
2. Distribute blank outline world maps and colored pencils. Instruct students to develop, using their textbooks and other sources provided by the teacher, a color-coded map reflecting location of the five major world religions c. 2000. An option is to have the actual color code on the back in order to foster studying (using a flashcard-type technique). Students may work in groups.
   
   
3. Have the students study this map in pairs until complete mastery. Using the overhead, practice as a class locating each world religion on the map.
   
   
4. If time permits, split students into groups of three. In their groups have them study the map, along with the two charts on world religions. Allot 5-7 minutes for this process. Explain that you will roll a die to see which person on each team will be chosen to go through a map. Each student should take two numbers between 1 and 6 for this activity. Once time is up for studying, rapidly go through each team, rolling the die to choose the person, and have him/her go over one of the maps. Give one point for each correct location (or 10 points for a correct map). Play as many rounds as desired or as time allows.
   
   
5. Assign a teacher-selected reading, writing, worksheet, or other reinforcement activity.
