TEACHER TIP: We paired these activities with the book Armadillo from Amarillo by Lynne Cherry, and it worked perfectly to spark student interest in maps and geography. You can also use other great read-alouds like Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney to build background knowledge and support map skill lessons. These books make excellent introductions to the concept of location and help students connect personally to the geography content.
