Age and preparation
Years 5–7. Allow around 20 minutes. A4 paper, pencils and optional colouring tools. Print at actual size.
Use the activity
Print the four corner signs and twenty question cards. Learners can move, point or use seated answer cards. Use the separate educator key to check each answer.
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.
