By how much? Why is there a time difference between Ireland and these places?Now discuss the time differences going west from Ireland. Explain that the pupils are now going to play a game called Time & Place in pairs. Distribute packs of game cards and a recording sheet to each pair. (See the appendix for game cards and recording sheet). Display the time zone map of the world on the whiteboard. Pupils place the time cards face down in one pile and the place cards are placed face down in another. Pupils draw a Time card, put the time in the left-hand column of the table and place the card on the bottom of the deck. They then draw a Place card and put the name of the city in the next (First Place) column and place the card on the bottom of the deck. They then draw another place card, put this in the ‘Second place’ column of the table and place the card on the bottom of the deck. They then calculate what time it is at the second place when it is the first time at the first place. If the second place is in the same time zone as the first place, they time will remain unchanged. They put their answer in the last column of the table.When the table has been filled, get the class to report back to each other on what they have just done. Extension Activity. Get pupils to compare their completed tables with each other but to hide the name of the second place with their ruler. The challenge is for the other pair of pupils to identify the hidden country based on the corresponding second time ................
