Age and preparation
Years 5–7. Allow around 20 minutes. A3 paper and pencils. Print at actual size.
Use the activity
Print the student sheet on A3 landscape at actual size. All seven zones and twenty-five tasks are on one sheet. The separate key is A4 portrait.
Accept spoken answers, pointing or a partner scribe when writing is a barrier. For a challenge, ask learners to explain the clue behind an answer. Colour never determines a factual answer.
Scope and accuracy
Revision combines introductory Australian concepts. Service responsibilities can overlap; the ACT government also handles local services. Voting tasks are simplified House-style preferences, not Senate counting. Law-making shows a successful simplified path; commencement can be later.
