Geography Ideas

A GF did the following study for North America, it was a great sucess!

Make continent boxes
animals
a cloth map
maps for them to color of that continent with the countries
command cards
labels of the mountain ranges for them to place on the cloth map
coloring command cards also (Find Greenland, color it green)
Artifacts (a 'capirucho' from El Salvador and some key chains with gourd jars - not much yet but hope to add more artifacts).
'label me' pages for landforms and rivers from enchantedlearning and answer keys.
Pin map for rivers of North America
Atlas
Draw a world map without looking at anything.
