My kids love to play with maps. Just letting them play around and get curious about it often leads to questions and becomes a jumping off point for not only geography, but history, culture, and so many other things. My kids are learning geography just by playing. There’s something about touching, feeling, being able to move pieces around that creates a tangible connection to these shapes. They can tell you the names of all the continents and oceans and many of the countries without ever having done a worksheet. They are still young, so that type of learning may come later, but these hands on, visual maps will still be a big part of our learning.
These ready to go geography lessons are already prepared so saves you tons time on finding and prepping materials. Have fun and get a discount on geography homeschool curriculum.
World Maps are so exciting to explore. The best way to engage a student learning about the world, is to ask them to label it. The Mini Peel & Play World Map Set on Educents provides students all the materials they need to explore and label a world map. Better yet, the map is small enough to stick onto the car window while you’re traveling. It’s also easy to move the map from room to room in your house – the map has a safe adhesive that allows students to stick the map to a surface over and over again.

Activity Ideas
Looking for ways to make the Mini Peel & Play World Map interactive? Use these activities:
Label the oceans – use the labels to point out oceans around the globe.
Ask your student to match the sticker with its continent. What does your student see in that continent? What is the climate there? Is that continent above or below the equator?
After your student has placed all the sticker labels on the globe, s/he can refer to the map while responding to these writing prompts:
- Name all of the oceans in the world.
- Locate your home on the map. If you wanted to visit Australia, which direction would you need to travel?
- How would you travel to Europe – by foot, by boat, or by plane?
- Which direction does a ship need to sail to travel from South America to Africa?

These look pretty interesting. I might have to remember these ones especially for my kids who love stickers!
Maps are so fascinating, aren’t they!
My children are currently learning how to read them, and it’s so fun to see 5 & 7 year-olds go get out the atlas when they want to know where a country is. I’m sure they’d enjoy using labels in their lessons, too.
My hands-on learners would enjoy this for geography. We have been doing map tracing and coloring, but I think the interactive nature of these products would be a nice change of pace in our homeschool.
