Cultural differences - punctuality

Hi everyone

My class of new-migrant adult students hail from many different countries which are totally different to their new country, Australia.

Punctuality is an issue!

I �m looking for a fun, cultural activity focusing on punctuality around the world where we can tactfully learn how cultural differences can cause misunderstandings.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Jayho

They may be good to�prompt some discussions about the different cultural backgrounds of your students.

Then you can start to compare things with Australian expectations.

Cheers,

AB�

Well, this isn �t particularly funny , but maybe you could adapt it? Say, add some silly reasons like, you fancy an extra biscuit... The cat needs an extra tickle before you can leave...You need to take the rubbish out as it �s smelly (maybe that is a perfectly valid reason!)
