Free Geography for Kids Activities
Geography is an interesting subject and little kids are always fascinated by the size and breadth of our planet. A book I enjoy reading is Where do I live by Neil Cheshnow

Zooming In
After the students have had enough time exploring the globe and discussing its make up. Then it is a good time to talk about the continents and help them to identify the continent they live on. A great way to explain to them their place in the world is to tell them that we are going to zoom in on where they live slowly. So first they live on earth, than you will look at the continent, then their country, state, city, neighborhood, home, and finally their own bedroom.
