Start by making sure kids know the main places & geographic features in their own country. Give them activities that pretend they are taking a cross-country bike tour, using free football game passes, jogging through the country, etc., & they'll find their way around in a hurry! Geography activities include information on provinces, cities, rivers, regions, museums, historic places, sites of interest, colleges, bordering countries, climate, topography, crops and more, all ready to reproduce! Approximately 30 activities and 200 geography-related places and facts are covered. Students work alone or in groups and use maps, reference books or resource people to complete challenging riddles, matching games, word searches, fill-in lists, scavenger hunts, and completion exercises that reinforce learning, sharpen research skills, and provide a lively introduction to Canada.
