New Hampshire Jography (The New Hampshire Experience) Kathy Zimmer

Statistics say most kids know less geography than ever - don't let that apply to your students! Start by making sure kids know the main places & geographic features in their own state. Give them activities that pretend they are taking a cross-state bike tour, using free football game passes, jogging through the state, etc. - & they'll find their way around in a hurry! Geography activities include info on New Hampshire counties, rivers, museums, historic places, sites of interest, colleges, bordering states, climate, topography, crops and more, all ready to reproduce! Approximately 30 activities and 200 geography-related places and facts are covered. Students work alone or in groups and use maps, reference books or resource people to complete challenging riddles, matching games, word searches, fill-in lists, scavenger hunts, and completion exercises that reinforce learning, sharpen research skills, and provide a lively introduction to New Hampshire. Free teacher's guide gives specific suggestions and instructions on how to get max educational value from this book. Geography is critical - make learning it fun!
