If you want to talk about Barbados with intermediate learners, it might be a good idea to introduce the life of pupils around their age living in Barbados to them.
Maybe you will not find any pages which deal especially with Barbados ´ children.
Do not panic!
By looking more carefully you will certainly find some aspects of people living in Barbados in a general way.
For instant, family life can also be an interesting topic. To compare family life in Barbados with the family life your pupils know is an exciting task.
It would be great if you could find pen pals from Barbados for your learners, but this might be too difficult.

I want to show you an example for an internet-task about Barbados for intermediate learners.
Go to
http://www.barbados.org/people
There, you will find different kinds of people living in Barbados.
If you want to go further, link
http://www.barbados.org./people/dwayne.htm
Dwayne is a little black boy. On the page you can find lots of facts about his life.

Now, you can ask your pupils about his family.
Where do they life? Describe his life!
Are there any things which seem strange to you?
What is different in school?

You will also find a short poem on the page.
Maybe you can do some kind of interpretation.

If your children have fun working with the internet, they can try to make a similar page about their life. You can put your e-mail on it. So, you have the chance to find foreign pen pals for your pupils. By the way you have had an intercultural aspect in your lesson(s).
