How Well Do You Know Britain | EFL Resource Pack for British Culture, Language and Identity

Most students think they know Britain – red buses, tea and the Royal Family. And yes, they exist. But Britain today is far more interesting than the postcard version. The How Well Do You Know Britain Resource Pack helps students discover the real picture through games and activities ranging from light warm-ups to more involved reading and speaking tasks, finishing with a lively board game that ties everything together.

Students explore the people, places, language and everyday life that make modern Britain what it is. Each activity builds cultural awareness and communication skills while offering practical classroom flexibility.

What’s Included:

• The Four Nations Text and Sorting Activity – Students explore England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland by sorting geographical and cultural clues to understand similarities, differences and regional identities.
• Situational Dialogues – Short, natural conversations based on real British settings that help learners gain confidence in spontaneous, culturally appropriate English.
• Know Your Money – Visual reference pages, printable coin tokens and classroom games that help students recognise UK coins and notes and use them in realistic role-plays and transactions.
• Britain Puzzles – Two printable puzzles (The Missing Link and Spot the Imposter) that test vocabulary, reasoning and cultural knowledge across food, places, traditions and famous figures.
• Colloquial English – A set of slang and informal language cards with glossaries and activity ideas that encourage learners to notice tone and context in real-world English.
• Famous Britons Magic Word Square – A clue-based puzzle introducing British figures from science, sport, literature and the arts.
• Join the Club! Youth Activities in the UK – Reading and discussion tasks about what young people in Britain actually do after school, from sports and volunteering to creative and gaming clubs.
• Sporting Profiles – Short, flexible biography activities featuring British athletes known for their achievements, resilience and wider impact.
