Hands-On Geography: Easy & Fun Activities for Exploring God’s World, revised edition

by Maggie S. Hogan and Janice Baker

Bright Ideas Press

Two home school moms have published this helpful activity book that grew out of their hands-on geography workshops they have presented for other homeschoolers. The book presents multi-grade (K-4), inexpensive (often free) and practical activities and resources for home schools.

It teaches you how to make homemade books, games and notebooks that can be used for studies of any people, country, or other locale. It presents ideas for Biblical geography, genealogical geography, and mission geography. Add instructions, reproducible worksheets and maps, lists of recommended resources, a geography bowl game, and lots of practical tips, and the result is a valuable resource that makes geography more fun to learn and to teach. The revised edition is more professional in appearance, and a few of the activities have been changed to sharpen the focus toward early- to mid-elementary grade levels.
