Children's books and activities
Geography, Travel and Cultures
Celebrate Geography Awareness Week [6] in November — and all year long! Do you know any kids who are fascinated by maps, the geography of the world, exploring their own town or city, or discovering other cultures? We've gathered up a great collection of books, activities, apps, and websites for learning all about geography, travel, and cultures.
Try pairing fiction with nonfiction books and exploring different genres [7] (like poetry and biographies) and formats (like graphic novels and audio books). You'll be creating your own "text sets" — collections of texts focused on a specific topic, such as geography, travel, and cultures. Reading widely in this way helps children build background knowledge [8], vocabulary [9], and comprehension skills.
How to explore this theme:
- Read fiction and nonfiction books
- Try some hands-on activities
- Build writing skills with these fun ideas
- Dig deeper with kid-friendly websites
- Play and learn with mobile apps
