Thanks so much for sharing a link to our resources. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome :) Thank you for all the work you put into your great resource
DeleteThis is a really helpful resource. I will pin for future reference.
ReplyDeleteWe like Seterra too. My teenage son sometimes challenges me and often beats me!
Sounds like fun. I think I need to brush up on my geography before I take on any games like that :)
DeleteGood morning, Chareen! I loved all your ideas----WHAT a comprehensive list! Megamaps alone would have been worth the visit. Can't wait to try that out!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Melanie (Wren)
Glad you like it Melanie :) Yes I agree Megamaps are great
DeleteI am bookmarking this article, Chareen, because I love all these geography resources you listed. Thank you!! We really integrate our many missionary friends in with our real-life geography learning - it provides just a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge (and godly wisdom!) to hear from these dear people. Even just something as simple as having a missionary world prayer map and reading their newsletters aloud is really effective in making geography more personal for the kids!
ReplyDeleteLove that approach to Geography Gwen. You are very welcome I enjoyed compiling it :)
DeleteYou are so awesome with free resources. Thank you, thank you, thank you for compiling these!
