Activity 4:Where in the world am I?
Separate students into small groups of 3-4.
Give each group a stack of index cards with clues about a
specific location on the globe, such as:

2. I am to the west of the International Date Line.
3. I am made up of two main islands.
4. I am near Australia.
5. Where am I?
Answer: New Zealand.
Have the small groups use the globe to try and figure out
the clues.
Once all of the groups have figured out what they are
looking for, have them share the clues with the rest of the
class and explain how they found the answer.
The cards can contain clues for counties, continents,
states, cities, or whatever you would like to have the
students learn about.

Have students write out the clues and give them to other
students. The other students can then use the clues to
discover new locations.
Activity 5: Geo-Quiz
Have the students sit at their desks and divide the room in
