Age and preparation
Years 5–6; adaptable for ages 8–13. Allow around 20 minutes. A4 paper, pencils and optional colouring tools.
Run the activity
Explain that the diagram shows relationships, not the physical positions of rooms in the building.
Illustrations simplify parliamentary settings. They do not show a complete seating plan or current politicians.
Adapt the activity
Read vocabulary together and accept pointing, spoken explanations or a partner scribe. For more challenge, ask learners to explain a classification, trace a ballot, or justify a sequence using the facts on the page.
Printing and use
Print on A4 at actual size. Student PDFs contain only activity pages; solutions are separate. Use in a classroom, OSHC group or family. Do not sell or redistribute the files as your own.
