Other Activities 
Follow the HerdSet-Up: Place simple pictures or objects around the room to represent food, water, and shelter.

How It Works: 
Tell learners: “Early humans had to follow what they needed to survive.”
Call out scenarios:

• “The animals moved north.”
• “The river dried up.”
• “Winter is coming.”

Learners move toward the object that represents the best choice.
Connection: Shows that migration often followed resources, not borders.

Pack for the JourneySet-Up: Prepare pictures or cards showing items such as fur clothing, water containers, boats, fire, shelters, tools, and food.

How It Works:
Say: “You are moving to a new place.”
Give an environment:

• Cold land
• Hot desert
• Island
• Forest

Learners choose what they would bring.
Connection: Highlights how tools and knowledge changed depending on environment.

Wayfinding Without MapsHow It Works:
Say:“There are no maps. How do you know where you are?”
Ask learners to notice:

• Sun position
• Landmarks
• Paths or changes in ground

Connection: Connects to navigation and environmental awareness as survival skills.

Climate Changes, People MoveHow It Works:
Tell short prompts:

• “The weather gets colder.”
• “The animals leave.”
• “The water rises.”

Ask:“What might people do next?”
Connection:Shows how climate shifts influenced human movement.

Migration StoriesHow It Works:
Prompt: “Tell a story about a family moving to a new place.”
Ask guiding questions:

• Why did they leave?
• How did they travel?
• What helped them survive?

This is also a great time to talk about any family or friend connections to migration/immigration/immigration. 
Connection:Links human migration to storytelling and lived experience.

Compare Past and Present MigrationHow It Works:
Ask:“Why do people move today?”
Discuss:

• Jobs
• Safety
• Climate
• Family

Connection: Helps learners see migration as a human experience across time.
