The Iceberg Higher or Lower challenge - standard tax rates in Europe

Here's a fun lesson starter from the furtive imagination of regular contributor Scott Thomas. This one is a variation on our Higher and Lower game that involves the whole class. The class are presented with the standard rate of tax for one EU country and must decide whether they think that the next country has a standard tax rate that is higher or lower. Dependant on your class room or group of students you can ask students to move to a part of the room that you say means 'higher' and another that means 'lower' or just show their hands to indicate their answer.

If they get the answer wrong, they are out of the quiz. If they are right they can keep going and judge whether the next country has a higher or lower standard rate of the new country.

Can anyone stay in the game for all 6 named countries?
