A BEST SELLER! A fun back to school or end of the year project to introduce or review geography and map skills all at the same time! Your students will love creating their own country.
Create A Country Project: Newly updated and revised with my country mini-book, vocabulary posters, and fun student activities. Activities are related to geography and cultural themes such as traditions, flags, climates, housing, natural resources, agriculture, schooling, and transportation. What a creative hands-on project!
There is a 16-page country mini-book to introduce geography and cultural vocabulary and concepts. This unit is geared for younger students. First, have them read, color, and assemble their mini-books before starting the project.
This is a great anytime of the year project! I have used it for many years as the end of the year culminating project to reinforce and review the main geography concepts that we’ve learned in social studies throughout the school year.
