A Great Way To Introduce
Your Child To Geography

Helping your child to realize that there is more out there, than what he sees at first glance.

We all make a mark on where we live and where we live makes a mark on us.

Talking to your child about how their environment is different to other people in the world, is a great introduction to geography, and ...

Having a floor map of the world, and books with pictures of different countrys can make a good Geography learning games.

By looking at different country’s you can open their minds to different music, food and way of life.

But, its more than just maps, learning about the links between our lives and the environment around us is central to geography.

A great idea to help your child realize where places are, and where food comes from is by looking in your own kitchen.

A lot of food in your kitchen, has been imported from countries all over the world. Pick out some packets of food from your kitchen cupboard and ask your child of find out where each came from by reading the label.

Once your child has a list of places, both here and overseas, get them to find out where these places are by using a map, an atlas or a globe.

Show your child ways to improve their immediate surroundings, by caring for the environment, keeping the park or town tidy and recycling.

Also look at local areas in their neighbourhood such as park, supermarket, roads, field or farms.

Describe what they would usually find there, such as animals in the farm, people and food in the supermarket and so on.

It's a good idea to use geographical words like ‘hill’, ‘river’ and ‘motorway’ so that your child can talk about their environment confidently and more descriptively.

Maybe find a simple map of your hometown, you should find one on the internet or at your local library.

Help your child find your home on the map, then help him find homes of family members and friends and town landmarks such as the school or park.

Talk about the different symbols on the map and help him use the scale to measure distances between different areas.
