- Talk with children about the different
kinds of maps. (This kind is called a
Physical Map because it shows the
different landforms like mountains and
waters) - Have them describe what the different
colors on their map represent. - Read in your bible how God made the
lands and the seas.
| These fantastic maps are not only fun to make, but they are a great way to learn about your state or country's terrain. This would be a great activity to follow up on key map reading skills. |
| Step 1 Find a good picture of a Physical Map. Draw the outline of the state or country you'll be making. |
| Step 2 Find some old magazines and tear out some of the colors you'll use for the map. (Substitute bright colors for extra fun!) |
| Step 4 Tear up different colors of the magazines and place them in the right places on the map. Using different hues of a color and layering really make the map look more realistic. |
| Step 3 For younger children you might set up a plate of glue and some brushes to make it less messy. |
| All Done! Find the letters to make a title for your map, or even add a map key at the bottom. |
