Country Outlines
Instructions
• Use the outline maps and the four clues to work out
which country it is.
• Points could be awarded based on how quickly a team
guesses the answer correctly: 5 points if they can
identify the country from the map alone, 4 points if
they can get it after one clue, 3 points if they get it
after two clues, 2 points if they get it after three clues,
and 1 point if they get it with after all four clues have
been revealed, obviously 0 points if they still can’t get
it after all of these.
• There are 10 countries to guess, the answers are
shown on the last slide (so you may want to remove or
hide that slide until after answers from all teams have
been collected in!).
