The theme of the board game is the impact of migration.
I have used this lesson for both S2 and Higher and it can be easily amended to decrease/increase challenge. For example, for Higher, they are challenged to group the cards at the end of the game and use them to write an exam answer.

The terminology used is to suit the Scottish Curriculum. This can be quickly changed e.g. “donor” to “origin”, if this is more appropriate.

The focus is of forced migration with reference to the Ukraine/Russia war. This can be changed to suit your own case study as it will not impact the rest of the lesson.

The lesson will enable pupils to:

• Define “voluntary” and “forced” migration.
• Discuss what impacts they think result from migration.
• Play a version of Ludo to learn key points.
• Consider the impact of migration in their own community with a video showing Ukrainians schools setting up in Scotland.

A final answers table - this can be adapted to suit your class/needs. I have created it to avoid “flipped” points.

Any images used in the PowerPoint are created by AI or myself.
I created the ludo board/cards etc.

This content can be introduced using the following lesson on short and long term impacts of war.
