Where In The World?




This Victoria Day long weekend, the campgrounds opened, inviting my family to embrace the great outdoors. And what better way to celebrate the season than a fun car trip? Saskatchewan, known for its prairie landscape, is also home to 1 900 sq. km. of active desert-like sand dunes. It was a great time to bird watch, take nature photos, and hike in the sand. Take a look!



Travelling with the family made me think about discovering new places with a reliance on GPS. I decided to dive into the fun world of teaching absolute and relative location. This resource explores how to pinpoint exact spots on the globe using latitude and longitude, and how to describe places in relation to others. It's a great way to help students understand the world around them and develop their geography skills. 

WHAT IS INCLUDED: 
 ⭐ Four Sets of Lesson Slides - Each set is a prepped lesson
 ⭐ Amazing Location Game (like Amazing Race) 
 ⭐ Activities and Discussion Points for Each Lesson
 ⭐ 18 Printable Worksheets In Both Color and Black-and-White 
 ⭐ Answer Key 


That is all for now!
Enjoy your week!
