Break the class into groups. Have them listen to the video and write down as many countries as they can. The group with the most countries wins. Super easy, the kids love it, and it gets them listening, speaking and writing.

I loved Animaniacs as a kid! I wasn't sure how the kids would react to the show here, but I took the above video and incorporated it into my 'Where Are You From?' lesson (towards the end) and the kids loved it! Thank you for the video recommendation!

This is for teaching ordinal numbers and playing game using club pics.  ;)

An activity that I thought of for this topic was to give everyone a famous soccer player with a picture on the front and the name of the country on the back. Give each student a piece of paper with the other soccer players with a blank for where the player is from. After reviewing their soccer player kids can go around the class and ask other students "Where are you from?"

This year my 5th and 6th graders have similar topics even with the difference in grade level. Both grade levels this year's first lesson is "Where are you from?" so I used basically the same lesson plan for them.
