Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Display a big poster of the map of Ghana showing the 16 regions in different colours on the board. Guide learners to talk about their regions they come from and the festival they celebrate. Using cut out colour papers depicting the respective colours of the regions, model the location of your home region and the telling of behind your festival. Have learners take turns to pick the colour from the cut-out papers that is the same as the colour of their region, locate their region on the map and then tell a short history/what they know about their festivals. Have learners group cut out papers picked during the activity into colours and count. Have learners do addition and/or subtraction activities with the cut-out papers
