Variations and Extensions
- A three period lesson could be done with the continents to learn their names.
- Continent puzzle pieces could be put in a mystery bag for the child to try to identify by touch.
Map Making
- Trace the control map and color in with colored pencils, paint, oil pastels, or colored chalk.
- Trace around each continent on the appropriately colored construction paper. Pin-punch or cut out the continents. Then glue onto blue circles that have been painted on paper or cut out of blue paper and glued down.
- Maps may be labeled with pre-printed labels, labels written out by then child, or names of continents could be written directly on the map.
