Maps! Videos, Freebies and More!



I love to teach about maps! It's hands-on, requires LOTS of pictures and kids love it! I've got a great map and globe freebie just for your classroom, plus videos, games....you name it! If it helps teach kids about maps, it's here!


This is great to begin and end a map unit...quickly goes over the main terms in song. Fun
                            



Need a good video on latitude and longitude?  Don't miss this one! It's very clear and easy to understand.

            

This is a great site...it includes videos for the use of color on a map, parts of a map, and so much more.


AND....a few games!


Learn about map features and play a game at the same time! Love this one called "Adventure Island" by National Geographic!!!


This great game reinforces longitude and latitude skills.


Do you have a SmartBoard? Don't miss this free activity! It is about symbols and keys.


Now for that FREEBIE!

If you are about to teach about map grids don't miss this freebie! It includes one teaching sheet and two student worksheets with grading keys! Click on the link below the picture!
