Bring geography to life with this hands-on KS2 Design an Island Challenge!

Pupils create a unique island outline by scattering counters onto paper, then draw challenge cards to generate design rules for their island. These prompts encourage thoughtful decisions about physical features, settlements and land use.

Children then design and label their own island map, including natural and human features, before sharing their creations with the class.

This engaging activity promotes creativity, problem-solving, and geographical understanding in a fun and memorable way.
