This giveaway has ended, and the winner is Tanya who wrote: “My kids are 16 and 6. We always look at the map, which hangs in our living room, when we talk about things in the world, when read books to see where the author is from and where the story takes place, when we watch different sport events, like Olympics, when tracking our ebay orders from other countries. Also we collect packaging and envelopes with stamps from those packages for our geography boxes which my youngest loves the most. She also likes to “play” Montessori maps.”
The one word to remove from your vocabulary this school year
My kids are 6 and 8 and we study geography by looking at our globe when a different country/city is mentioned, and watch a lot of bbc documentaries!
These look really neat!

My girls are 10, 10 and 9. We do a geography fair every year and study a continent. We are trying a mapping workbook this year.
My kids are 5, 3, and 11 months. One wall of the kids bedroom is a huge world map (from skymall). We also have a blow up beach ball globe. Using these, we look up where Mommy and Daddy or other family members have traveled, or where characters or events in stories we read take place. Everything is done very informally, but we all learn so much!
My boys are 5 1/2 and almost 7. We use classical conversations and love drawing countries and states from memory!!!
My children are 12, 5 (almost 6), & 18 months. We are studying different areas from the Bible and the 50 states.
My son is 9 and we mostly learn geography with history — Story of the World and its maps.
My gals are 7, 4 and 2 months. We primarily have studied the United States, but do look up other countries as they arise in novels, stories etc. Mostly we use a few children’s atlases. Would LOVE these maps! Thank you.
I have an only, and she is 12. We study geography using a curriculum, but we don’t have any maps. I find some off the internet to use, but something like this would be so much better. Thank you for the chance to win!
My kids are 9, 11, and 13. We have a large world map on the wall in our kitchen/dining room. We discuss during meal times and look for all the places mentioned in books, news, documentaries, etc.
My kids are almost 5, 3, and newborn. We currently use 2 large maps taped on the wall, they love looking at and learning about different places!
My kids are 4 and 2 and we look at our world map whenever we reference other countries.
my daughter is 4, we haven’t started geography yet
I shared Pinit maps on Facebook.
I have a 4.5 and 6 year old. The 6 year old just finished Kindergarten this past May in a Montessori school. This is our first year homeschooling, and we don’t have much in the way of geography materials yet. These would be amazing and would help us continue the Montessori feel at home.:)
We have just begun homeschooling our 10 yr. old daughter, so as of now we are referencing our National Geographic atlas. We also have a 6,4 & 3 month old. Geography is one of our favorite topics. As a family We are always discussing places around the world and where they are located.
These sound amazing! My kids are 7, 5, 1, and not yet born. 🙂 We currently learn geography in connection with Story of the World, but I’d love to use these as well!
I have a lovely daughter who is 9 and an incredible son who is 6…. we currently have some large wall maps up and post photographs from all over the world on the different countries… it helps to visualize where all these different and amazing cultures come from.
Kids are 4, 8, 10 and 12 – 2nd year homeschooling! We are officially introducing geography this year and I didn’t have a solid plan yet – this would be perfect.
My oldest is 5 and we currently study Geography through living books, Classical Conversations, and black line maps in Story of the World. This looks beautiful! We’re a military family so we like looking at maps to see where we live/have lived/ and where Dad is at.
Last year we did trail guide but dropped it after a couple of months. I like the idea of maps and travel videos so that’s what we will try this year. I am going to use seterra online for map drills but would love a set of these maps too.
My kids are 11, 7 and almost 3.
My daughter is 6 and in first grade. Right now we’re learning about American history so we put together a puzzle of the United States and answer map questions about the state we’re looking at.
My kids are 9, 7 and almost 6. Geography mixed with history, mostly!
My kids are 8, 6, and 4 months. Right now we study geography by learning where the states are at. Next we are moving to the continents, oceans, and major countries.
My kids are 14 and 17, and my grandkids that I’m helping to homeschool are 10 and 7. We learn geography through the stories we read, the history we study, or finding the location of a current event on our kitchen world map.
My children are 8, 6 and 3. We currently use an online seterra program as well as living books to learn geography.
my son is 8. we study geography informally — he’ll ask where a city, state, or country is located if he hears it mentioned in a story we’re reading, program/movie/video we’re watching, or if we’re having a conversation about it. i think he’ll definitely appreciate the pin it map.
My girls are 7, 4 and 3. We don’t have a formal ‘geography’ lesson yet….currently our studies consists of looking at maps/globes and dicussing what we see. We also travel and when we do we take that time to learn about our location.
Our boys are 4 and 6 and we homeschool and study geography with classical conversations! A lot of black line map tracing also!
Our kids are 6, 10, 13, and 15. We use a couple of large maps and watch videos on the 50 states.
My kids are 10 and 1 and we use the Story of the World and the game Civilization V to study geography.
Shared on FB also!
My littles are 7 and 4. Currently, we study geography with a Little Einstein globe, USA placemats, and a world map taped to the wall (we do Little Passports). The maps and pins would be a wonderful manipulative to add to their learning; thanks for the chance to win!
My girls are 4 and 5. They are mostly interested in local towns and US states right now but we have an inflatable globe that they love and we are beginning the Charlotte Mason Africa study next week.
My daughter is 4.5. Currently, we study geography by looking at places we’ve been on the world map, looking up countries we’ve read about on the map, and by assembling puzzles of the United States. We talk about what is interesting in states and countries we look at on the maps.
7, 6 & 3. We pull out our inflatable globe when referencing places and print maps off the Internet to color.
My kids are 15, 13, 11, 9, and 5. We study geography with history. These pin maps are fabulous!
This is awesome! When we go to the local breakfast eatery my kid (age 7) loves to check out the U.S. Map with all the pins! He always gets a charge out of the idea that people drive from all over the country to eat there! We study geography through the maps of Story of the World. Traveling with the Atlas. And the surprisingly accurate map of the world shower curtain!
My kids are 11 and 15. Fortunately we live in DC and we use curriculum, the Embassies and I allow my oldest to begin to travel the world.
My children are 6 and 9. We use geography songs, map tracing, and a lot of reading.
My kids are 9, 6, 5, 4, 2 and 6 months. We study geography by talking about our travels and places we read about. Our kids like to look at a map of a place. We also make sure to notice rivers and lakes and major cities as we travel across Canada.
My kiddo is 8 and we are studying geography and cultures this year. I have several books on maps and we are using them in conjunction with the Trip Around the World workbook series.
Staci’s latest post: July 2015 Update
My kids are 8 & 9 and we do geography with History, Story of world maps
My kids are entering 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. We use Visualize World Geography for most of our geography studies.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE,,WHAT AN AWESOME RESOURCE!!! MY DAUGHTER IS 13 IS AN ASPIE AND THIS WOULD BE SUCH A GREAT WAY TO LEARN ABOUT GEOGRAPHY! (ESPECIALLY FOR THE TEACHER,LOL) I HAVENT REALLY FOUND A GOOD WAY TO INCORPORATE ANY GEOGRAPHY FOR HER ,,HELP ME THIS WOULD BE AWESOME:)
My kids are 5,2, and 3, months and we currently study geography by reading books about different places and using the DK geography workbooks
I have one child, a 4 year old little girl, and thus far we’ve studied geography in a very interest based manner. When we travel to another state or to Puerto Rico to visit my in-laws we’ll look at our giant map and talk about where we’re going. Or when my husband travels for work we’ll compare where we are to where he is on our map. And we’ve also read the book Montessori Map Work and talked about different land formations, mostly because Puerto Rico is an island. She LOVES this topic and seems interested in traveling which is awesome because I love to travel myself!
My seven year old and I study geography with out wall maps and atlas, as it pertains to things we read about or through post card swaps.
Love maps!!!! My kids are 3.5 and 6. We are using classical conversations so we are memorizing geography week by week.
My kids are 9, 7, and 1. Last year was our first year homeschooling and our geography was limited to Little Passports and when social studies took us to a new place, we looked it up. It was honestly not a lot. This would be an amazing way to teach geography!! And help this overloaded mama!!

Karen Epps’s latest post: Giveaway: $220 geography package from Pin It! Maps
I shared about the giveaway and pin it maps on my FB page ;).
my kids are 6, 6, 5, 3, & 1.5. We study geography in the context of science & history, & these maps would be a wonderful tool as the kids grow!
We have 5 children aged 19 – 8. We study geography primarily together with history. We study the geography relevant to the era we are studying. We use a lot of atlases (ancient and modern). Also, living in Europe, we have the opportunity to learn a lot through travel.
I have an 11 yo who loves maps so studying geography just sort of happens around here. We have large world and state maps on the walls and then we have weekly sheets to label places we’ve read about in history, etc. But he often just sits and studies maps on his own for fun!
My boy is 5 and my girl is 19 months. Last year we did Classical Conversations and that combined with our US rug my boy managed to learn all the states and capitals. We also have a world map as a covering on our dining table so we can talk about what we see whenever we sit down to eat.
We currently study geography with a globe and atlases and are planning to start Notgrass America the Beautiful which includes maps. This would be an incredible addition.
My kids are 11 and 14. We most often study geography as a spin off of whatever topics we are discussing in history or reading about in literature.
My daughter is 6. We are just beginning by studying our state and the USA via books and projects.
My children are 8, 6, and 3. We study geography by looking at a globe or atlas when a country comes up in our reading. My kids love geography and I have to put the globe away or we’ll never finish what we were in the middle of when we pulled it out. 🙂
I have three children and they are 5,7,and 9. I have not done formal geography with them.
9,7,7,6,1
yes we do study geography! 🙂
Our children are 9 and 7 and our little one is just 9 months old 🙂
Currently, we are following the Sonlight curriculum with our son Neil(9)and daughter Zoe(7). AS we read through the books, be it literature, history, geography or even mission stories, we either look through the globe or the map book that we have to locate places. Neil likes to look through the globe even while he is not studying. As a result he can locate quite a lot of places , some of which even I cannot 🙂 Zoe is learning to look through the globe and the map slowly and doing well as she now knows her oceans, continents, some countries and also some rivers as well. And overall…we are learning with them:)
We would like to study Geography and this curriculum looks fantastic! My children range in age from 15 to 3 and we have six.
My children are ages 13, 12, and 9. Currently we are studying geography as part of our history curriculum, Biblioplan.
My kids are 14, and 9 yr old twins. The twins are learning geography via Trail Guide to Learning, which is what we are using. My oldest is learning as part of her history curriculum (TRISMS).
My kiddos are in 6th and 7th grade. We study with maps, videos, and books. This looks amazing! Thanks for a chance to enter!
We are currently schooling our last child, a 14 year old special needs daughter. We study geography along with history and literature using a wall map, globe and atlas. This set looks like it would be great for my “hands on” daughter.
My kids are 6, 5 and 3. We don’t currently do much geography study but these maps would be a great way to start our learning.
I have 10 children – ages 14 to infant. We study geography with printed maps, the globe, geography books, and in the context of history. But, we would LOVE to have maps like this to really test their knowledge! Please, please!!
My boys are seven and nine. We incorporate geography into mainly history lessons. I also use stack the states and countries. My seven year old sleeps with a map to look at while he falls asleep, so if there is a location we aren’t aware of, he fills us in Lol. I’d love to do more on mountains, oceans, and volcanoes! though.
My kids are 5 1/2 and 3. For the little one, we study simple maps, i.e. rooms in the house and for my older child, we’re just building foundation for when we start 1st grade, we will be learning it in connection with the Bible and history.
Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, we have not invested in a globe. We’re currently working with printouts by country and continent. This would be a great teaching aid for us, and a great way for the kids to feel the journey out to the world as they get older and expand their knowledge to the different countries and cultures of the world.

6 & 3. We’re studying geography with Paddle To The Sea & a world map & discussions of direction & distance.
We’re taking a classical blob map approach to Geography, as well as pointing out places on our wall map & globe as we read stories and study topics. I love maps & geography & would love to have such a great resource!
Kids are 5 and 9. We have big wall maps on our schoolroom wall, and when we come across a place reference we look up where that place is. We also look at maps of where we travel, and where our family and friends live.
Shared on Facebook now as well! Thanks!
Our boys are 13, 11, 10, 8, and 6. We studied geography in depth last year (it was our first year using my fathers world). This map set would be awesome to help us build on and remember what we learned!
We just started homeschooling this June. We live in Johannesburg South Africa. Our kids are 6 years, 4 years & , 22 months & a 10 month old.
We haven’t bought anything for Geography yet. We plan to use Tapestry of Grace next year and join a co-op close to where we stay.
my kids are 16,15 and 6. Currently we tie Geography in with History and use flat maps.
I have a 4th and 8th grader. We study geography via living books and map work. This map set looks great, especially for my 4th grader as she is very hands on.
My children are ages 5 and 3. We do study geography as part of our World Cultures program!! The children adore maps and geography. These maps would be wonderful to use at home and at our co-op where we study a different country and continent every month!
My daughter is 4 and we have been using a U.S. map puzzle for a while with her. We also just started looking at a giant reference atlas I brought home from work. These maps look beautiful!
My children are 14, 8 and 8. During the past year we’ve begun working on each U.S. state individually using maps from the atlas as well as online information. We also have gone geocaching as a family using gps. Discussions around geography also come up during our current board game obsession, Risk. Thanks for the chance! This would be a great addition to our homeschool.
My kids are 15, 11, and 8. We have not done a whole lot of geography so far. I am planning on incorporating it into our history and literature this year. This is an amazing giveaway. Thank you for this oppurtunity!
I have two sons, aged 10 & 12. We are Canadian, so I was excited to see international as that never happens. Thank you! We are using a fantastic Canadian resource for geography from Donna Ward this year. We have used travel and the internet for geography in the past. These flags look amazing!
My children are 15 and 13. We try and study regions – or places they are interested in.
Thank you for this opportunity.
For my 7th and 8th graders I use a variety of sources… Netflix programs, google earth and board games…the “10 days” series are awesome!
My kids are 5, 8, and 10. We have studied geography by unit studying one continent at a time, as well as reading children’s atlases and playing geography games together. Thanks for this giveaway!
Shared on facebook, as well. Thank you!
My son is 7. Currently, we study geography through life learning. We learn as we go and talk about different states and countries as it becomes relevant to what we are doing and what is going on around us!
Also liked Pin It on FB and shared the giveaway!
My kids are 4 and 10. I love geography, but don’t always do the best incorporating it into our day. Currently we do have a couple of maps and we try to study them and quiz them on places we are currently studying. These maps look so awesome and fun! Thanks-
My kids are 6 and 3 (and 3 months). We study geography as we encounter new places while reading. My kids also love the Little Travelers documentaries!
I have an 8, 4, and 2 year old and right now we study geography with books. We’ll get out the maps and look up places we read about.
My boys are 7 and 5. Our main resources for geography are Sonlight and Five in a Row but we also weave geography into every day life as often as possible. We have a huge world map on the wall which leads to many wonderful conversations as we explore great books and magazines, take trips and meet and get to know people.
Our boys are 12, 9, 6 and 3. We have a curriculum we use with maps we study and memorize, but I love these pin it’s! Awesome!
My kids are 5, 2, and on the way. We love Montessori! The 5yo has studied the world maps but we are really just getting started in our homeschool. We’d love to win this giveaway!
My kids are 6 and 9. We trace laminated placemat maps and look up places we read about in books and in the news. Thanks for the opportunity for these beautiful maps!
My daughter is 6. We have some pop-up atlases, and we also use Google Maps in satellite view and street view to explore any area or town that comes up in conversation or in our other subjects. It was brilliant when we were studying volcanoes!
We LOVE geography around here and this looks amazing!! Our children are 10, 8, 5 and 2 and right now we enjoy atlases, the World Kids magazine and the Maps, Graphs and Globes series. Thank you for bringing such wonderful products to our attention!
My four year old daughter loooves maps. We just have a basic one and two puzzles to look at. I’m sure my 16 month old son will be interested too.
My kiddos are 7, 6, 4 (triplets), 3 and 1. We have a K/1 geography workbook that my 1st grader is zipping through. He’d love these maps!
I have three girls, ages 2, 4, and 6, and the older two love poring over the globe and figuring out where different countries are. Our road atlas also provides lots of fun. We have a floor puzzle of the U.S., too!
My kids are 5 and 2. Currently we study geography by doing country studies using a variety of books from the library, a large world map, and activities we acquired through a busy bag exchange with other families. My children and I would love to win this awesome prize!
My kids are 10, 8, 6, and 2…we do great on our other subjects but have totally let geography fall by the way side. This is something my kids would get excited about!
My kids are still young – 3 & almost 5. But they love maps – we do geography based on what they’re interested in. So, while my son was interested in Great White Sharks, we talked about Australia, when it was Rhinos, we talked about Africa. These would be amazing to help him explore even more! (right now we just use maps on the computer)
My child is 11. We only use a large map and the World GeoCards game, now I’m realizing that we don’t utilize our globe…this looks amazing!
Our boys are 9 and 10 and we’ve tried Drawing Around the World. They do the work, but it’s not sticking or engaging them like I want it to.
My boys are 9, 8 and 6 and would love this. We have the wall maps but I’ve been looking for something more hands on!
My children are 8 and 3. We currently study geography (that which is relevant to our history lessons and our own location) with a simple cloth and Velcro map and a foam puzzle mat, both of which have some outdated information on them.
My school age kids are 9, 7, 6, and almost 5. They study geography by playing the apps Stack the States and Stack the Countries. They also have a US and World Leap Reader maps.

My children are 11, 10 and 8. We study geography in many ways. My children will be taking a Continents and Countries class with our local co-op this fall. This class will be parent led and the pin it maps will make a great addition to our learning.
At home we read about the Saints of the Day and learn about the location which they are from, we use the Evan Moore Daily Geography book and when studying History we research and learn more about the countries we are reading about.
We Love Geography!

Oh this is such perfect timing! My children are 4, 7, 9 and we’ve been studying the states that we’ve visited throughout this year. We are now done traveling so I’m focusing on using maps and such. This would be such a perfect addition to what I am piecing together on my own from the Internet and library. I would love to win this!
I shared this giveaway on Facebook!
My kids are 3 and 5 and we are just beginning to explore geography. I love the pin it idea and interactive element!!
What a fantastic giveaway. I LOVE this! My children are 3 and 7.

We also subscribe to a monthly kids world subscription box. We would be beyond excited to win this giveaway!
My kids are 17,15,13, and 11. This year my 11 year old is using legends and leagues as his geography curriculum. These maps would make an awesome addition.

My children are 7, 5, 3, and 1. We do geography as part of Five in a Row curriculum.
My children are 7 and 4. So far we have spent lots of time checking out the map to see where family/friends live, where Daddy travels to, and also with our SOTW curriculum. They love looking at maps for places like zoos, museums, aquariums, etc.
I have four children, ages 5, 7, 9 and 11. We are just beginning a new literature based geography curriculum by Beautiful Feet Books. My oldest has traced maps and done independent research on that particular area of the world; we will add that back into our learning in the spring, with the 3 older kids.
My kids are 7 and 10 and we study geography in lots of ways. Favorites are to play a game where we “travel” by randomly opening the atlas. Another is with flat friends that travel with family and friends when they go to various places. Thanks for the give-away!
Nicola’s latest post: A Northern California Year
My kids are ages 7 (almost 8) and 5. Unfortunately I’ve only used workbooks from Barnes and Noble for Geography! My kids are super curious though and any time they see a globe they look to see where we live or our friends or even where mommy and daddy have traveled. This resource would be huge for our classroom!
My kids are 9, 6, 5, 2, and 3 weeks. We mark places we learn about or that turn up in our reading on a big map and we love Geography Songs.
My Kids are 7 and 9. We learn geography in a Montessori way. We have a map in the living room so we can always see it. My kids are very interested in this topic they usually relate other topics to the map. It can be animals, history, etc. a set like that would feed even more their interests in what we are studying.
My kids are 8 and 11. We currently are using the Hammond World Atlas in addition to a SCM geography curriculum paired with STOW. We also include living books covering some of the places we learn about throughout the year. Last but not lease we always have the internet!
I would love this! My kids are 8, 10, 14,&16. We use maps, books, and educational shows.
My kids are 4 and 6. We study geography sporadically now, by looking at a map and finding the place after reading about it in a book. Thanks for the chance to win these awesome maps!
I have two kids, 4 and 6, and one coming in January. We use literature, puzzles, globes, and maps to study geography. The Montessori maps and puzzles are on my list to buy, so I’m excited about this giveaway!
8, 7, 5, 3. We use the Highlights Top Secret Adventures along w/ a DK Geography book and we’ll occasionally play “1000 places to see before you die”.
My girls are 6 & 9. We study geography whenever we read a book or study and animal (we’ll study where the author/animal is from). We also study geography through History, so we’re currently studying California. And we’re member of Postcrossing so we send postcard to people around the world.
My kids are 2 and 3 yr old. Right now, we just talk about the continents and use little passports. My son knows a whole bunch about the world already. But, these would be so cool to add into our explorations
Y children are 8 and 9 years old. We study geography with the workbook Daily Geography. We take road trips several times throughout the year and the children have lesrned to read state maps . We also learn geography based on our history lessons.
Twin eight year old girls & a 15 year old son.

Wow, this map is awesome! I don’t have a dedicated Geopgraphy currciula for my pupils, but utilize maps and globes on the daily in conjunction with other studies like history. My kiddos also love to play Stack the States. Would love to win this!

Brenda’s latest post: 2015 Lessons: Weeks 1-4
Three kids ages 2-6 and we love studying the wall map but we haven’t done much geography formally. These maps look great!
My daughter is 5, and we’ll be combining history and geography together as we study ancient history.
My kids are 2 and 4. We are really enjoying our montessori homeschool journey. We have a Montessori homeschool co op that meets at our house once a week. We sing the continent song, use a montessori globe and world map. We would love the pin it maps for future use!
My son is 4 1/2 years old and we have incorporated geography studies at home since he was 2 1/2 years old or so. We follow the Montessori philosophy and began with the land and water forms and sandpaper globe. We have a wonderful continent song to go along with the colored globe and map of the world. We also have a large floor puzzle
of the world with continents,oceans and animals. We would be so excited to add some pin maps to our studies!
Shared on Facebook!
I am part of a co-op and we love maps! We would love to have such a beautiful piece of material to work with for our Geography lessons! 🙂 Shared on FB.
My eldest daughter is 3 and a half, and is already challenging me with geographic questions! Yesterday we heard about Syrian refugees in the radio, and she kept asking me more and more questions. I wished we had a map or globe to look at! I know geography will be an important part of our life long learning, and I love that these Pin It materials would be able to challenge and teach us at different developmental levels. What a great homeschool resource!

My son’s are 11 and 17. My 17 year old did a geography book that he learned a lot from last year. My 11 year old had a workbook that taught him about legends and reading maps and how to map out cities, now we are looking for method for him to learn about all the other countries and rivers, etc.
We study geography through our CC curriculum as well as fun games like Stack the States.
Our kids are 7, 9, & 11. We have studied geography with maps, along with history curriculums, and by going on road trips.
My kids are 11,8 and 2. We have studied geography mostly by traveling and looking at maps. My kids would LOVE TO see really big maps of where they have been!
Just shared on my fb page!!
Kids are: 3 1/2, 7, and 11. We study geography through CCM as well as whatever other Historical or Social Studies take our fancy.
My granddaughter is 7 and this is our first year homeschooling so we haven’t really studied geography yet as we are just starting out!
My kids are 10,8,6,and 2.
We haven’t done much for geography yet, this year we were going to make a huge map of the U.S. And paint it studying one state at a time As we paint it.

Hello, my children are 5, 3, and 1. We teach geography with a ginormous world map puzzle, through my husbands travels around the globe, and google maps. Our eldest is very inquisitive! When she asks us a question about where something is made or comes from, we pull up google maps or research and read about the place together. We love to learn together as a family. ????

I have two sons ages 9 and 3 and two daughters ages 8 and 6. Currently i don’t teach a geography curriculum but have a map of the world on the walll and atlases and various books on geography. Whenever a relevant topic comes up i have my children locate different cities, countries and so on on this map. Looking for something more structured, for my older children and this looks fantastic.
My kids are 10, 8, 6 and 4 ..we’ve done some geography but this would be so Awesome to have!
My kids are 10, 11, 12 & 15. We are currently using Geography through Art. We were just talking about looking into getting some big maps to pin. This would be amazing!!! Thank you so much for the chance to win.
My daughter is 11 and we study geography with Which Way USA and Moving Beyond the Page. 🙂
Kids are 13,11,9,7 &6. We are studying countries and cultures this year, this would be an awesome addition to our material!
We learn about children all over the world, make individual geography cards with pictures and definitions of terms, along with many other things!
My kids are 17, 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, and 5. We study Geography using several different resources from Geography Matters. We also use Shepard Software. Love the hands on aspect of these boards!
My son is 9 years old and we use maps, curriculum and lots of travel to teach geography.
14 and 16 and haphazardly. Actually we do Geography in conjunction with History and flat maps. You might think my kids are to old to enjoy this, but the are very tactile learners and I think this would really help them bring things together.
My boys are 12, 10 and 8. We haven’t followed a formal geography program. Instead we usually use an atlas to find places that we read about in other subjects like history or science.
My kids are 10 and 5, we are starting with geography this year and I plan o using a large map, a globe, and several books. Usually we write everything down what we learn but for geography I will use more hands on practices as well like making models, cooking foods, etc.
I really like the hands on experience of the boards.
My kids are 6, 3, and 4 months. We love finding things on our globe and looking at the Atlas in the car. These would be so much fun!
My girls are 6, 5 and 3 and we use our old school globe to learn geography. We’d love something more comprehensive!
Kids are 11, 9, 5 and 2. We are looking for a good geography program. Right now just using maps, a globe….so it would be great to have more resources.
thanks!
My daughter will be 5 in October and we’re starting kindergarten in the fall 🙂 My husband is a pilot in the AF and has been to over 70 countries. When he’s gone, we find where he is on the map and look it up in our atlas for kids. When he gets home, he tells her where he’s been, shows her on the map (along with flight path of course) and what it was like there. She would love this!
Shared with all my homeschool friends!
6 and 3. we use felt maps of the United states and the world.
My kids are 9,8,6,4, and 2. We have done a geography booklet about reading maps and the basic geography of Canada. Geography still mainly consists of pulling out the world map to find locations in our read alouds.
My daughter is 11, and we pretty basically just use a globe right now.
My kids are 14, 12, and 10. Our US Geography is pretty solid because we took a year to travel the US and Canada and worked a lot of geography into our travels. We use apps like Stack the States, learned states and capitals from Macho Nacho on youtube, and incorporate geography into our history. To boost our World Geography skills this year, my oldest is using BJU Cultural Geography and my two youngest are using some of Sonlight’s Eastern Hemisphere core.
My kids are 6, 4, 3, 2, 10mths. We currently have a globe, fabric map of US and world, lots of books/workbooks for studying Geography. We really just started a bit last year with my then Kindergartner. This would be awesome for us since we are trying to do Montessori-inspired learning. Thanks!
We used CC, Stack the States, and Seterra online last year. This year we’ll be doing more physical map work along with our history studies, I think (still TBD).
My kids are 8 and 9. Right now we do geography once or twice a week. This would be awesome to have!
My children are 10 & 6. We currently study geography with books, globes and art. I love your products and have forwarded to many.
Thank you for your products!!

This year I will only be homeschooling one, we now have graduated 3. But we are so excited this year. Our daughter is in 4th grade and loves learning about geography. We have been learning what I call simple geography (close to home stuff), but this year we get to explore our state history which includes a lot of geography. I have used a small map with push pins. But this gift would be GREAT!
This is right up our alley. Been looking for something like this for a while. I have a daughter who’s 10, and loves maps. Geography is one of her favorites.
10, 12 and 14. We currently use McGraw-Hill workbooks, but hands on would be so much better!!! It always is!
This looks like an amazing resource. My kiddos are 9, 7, & 5. Our geography study has been rather spotty, some Little Passports, some of Ann Voskamp’s book, some puzzles and looking at maps. I had decided though that this year I want them to all concentrate on making a map at the Montessori homeschool day thing we do and this would be an awesome addition to that learning.
My kids are 7 and 5. We always incorporate geography in the themes we are studying. Thanks for the chance to win!
My son is 12 and we study geography through youtube and cooking dishes from around the world.
10, 8, 5, 2.
Very minimal right now but as we read a book we talk about locations.

My kids are 5,9, and 12. This is our first year homeschooling and it would be a great addition to our curriculum!
I shared the giveaway on Facebook. 🙂
Kids 7 & 8 and we like to study the world through art. This would be so cool. Thank you for the opportunity.
My girls are 11 and 13. We have maps and google or go to the library to pick out information on countries, we especially love to study about the different cultures.
My kids are 3 & 7. We study Geography using the Montessori method- primary as well as Cosmic Education. I know both of my children would LOVE this work!

My kids are almost 7 and 4. We currently study via reading books then looking at maps to talk about places we have seen. I am really intrigued by this program though!
My kids are 12 and 10 and I am just starting to look into how to teach them Geography.
Our boys are 8,5, and 2. We currently take a look at one of our two big maps on the wall when we are reading about something in history or just for fun.
We are starting kinder and prek this year. I am so excited to begin teaching my kids about this big world we live in!
My children are 7 & 9 and we are homeschooling for the first time this year! We have a globe and a map of the world but I hope to add to our collection of maps. Your set us beautiful and I would love to use it with my kids!
My kids are 6, 5, 2, and newborn and we study geography currently by talking to everyone we know who is traveling and mapping out where they are in the world, as well as documenting our own travels. We recently drove 1000 miles two ways and that was a great opportunity to learn about the states!
Hi! My kids are 16, 13, and 9.
We usually go to the library and gather information for geography. My kids have special needs, and sensory issues, and this would be great to use for our homeschool:)
My children are 10, 8, 6, 3, and 3 and we currently study geography using many living books with the inclusion of roll-up maps, geo-puzzles, wooden puzzles, board games, and a handful of apps for our iPad. The Pin-It maps would be a wonderful addition to our homeschool resources! Thank you 🙂
My kids are 5 and 2. We study geography with a basic, first grade intro to geography workbook. We’re getting the basics down. Unfortunately, we don’t have any maps yet. This would be great!!!
My kids are 5 and 9. We use My Father’s World, Exploring countries and Cultures this year.
My kids are 2, 4, 6, and 8. We haven’t done much geography so far in our homeschool.
My children at 9, 7, 4.
We are just about to do more coordinated geography this year. In the past we have checked out books about places we have been able to visit. Th is would be simply amazing to win!
My home school boys are 13 and 15. Looking at really tackling some good geography this year. Did a lot more in Elementary but the last couple of years not so much. Time to start some good geography lessons.
My daughter is 12 and we use Map Trek and also study different countries and their cultures. This would be such a great resource, especially as she is a tactile learner!

My kids are 13 and 15. Last year, we did Zombie Geography! We love maps and globes and like to track where we’ve been and where we’d love to go.
Our kids are ages 8, 6, and 3, and we have a baby on the way. We study geography through use of an atlas, lots of discussion, and looking places up online. Thanks for the chance to win a set of Pin It! Maps; they sound great!
My son is 3 so we’ve not picked a specific curriculum yet, but we’re just now getting into talking about where we live and camping at the state parks. I’ve shared on FB, as well. Thanks for the opportunity!
My 11 year old would love this, and so would I!
Shared on my facebook page 🙂
My oldest is 5. We have a world map that we talk about, pointing to where each relative lives and tracing routes of trips we have taken in north america, and finding countries that we hear about in books or movies.
My kids 9, 6 and 4 we learn world map by playing game “who can find first the city which I will tell them”
My kids are 6 and 4 and we use the puzzle maps right now and the Internet to learn geography. My 6 year old would live to Pin It! Thanks for the giveaway.
1, 2, 6, 8, 10. I shared the map page, this contest page and commented in both places! 🙂 thanks!

My kids are 17, 10 and 5. I currently homeschool our ten year old and we learn geography through a variety of resources; books, google maps/ tours, and online study.
My children are 3, 7, and 9. So far we have informally learned about geography by looking at maps and talking about the states where family members live and where we have travelled.

Learning about north and South America this year. We study world geography by following my husbands travels for work. He has been all over the world.
My kids are 4th and 1st grade. We are currently using Beautiful Feet Geography ????
I have an 8th grader and we are studying geography this year. We look online for different resources and facts for whatever area of the world we choose for the week. We study their culture, language, religion, etc.
My kids are 6 & 8, and geography has always been one of their favorite subjects (much to the geography-deficient mama’s surprise!). We love learning it together. 🙂

What a fun way to learn and solidify Geography! Our kiddos are 7 & 9. We are using the Maps, Charts, & Graphs series for basic map skills. Grandparents are providing the monthly Highlights Top Secret Adventures mystery series to learn about a new country each month. We add library books about that country to the projects. We also do a state a week with the Rand McNally Children’s Illustrated Atlas of the United States and pair that with a book from the library about a famous person, event, or location from that state as well as record our learning in the Sticker USA Activity Book. Finally we learn a new geographical term for a land or water body each week with Geography From A to Z and look up real photos online of that feature. We also do map work as it comes up naturally in History. We would so love to win these maps and labels! It would be such a fabulous visual tracker of all of our learning, especially for my special needs kiddo! Thank you for the entry opportunity!!
My 4 year old is just learning about geography….he loves working on map puzzles.
My kids are 7, 5, 3, and 2. We are teaching map skills and beginning US geography to our 7 and 5 year olds. We focus on the states we travel through now but do all kinds of map skills for hiking.
My boys are 10 and 7 and we use Daily Geography Practice and we have a few maps on the wall with the locations of friends and family marked.
My boys are 6 and 7. We are currently studying the 50 states during our geography lessons. They love learning about new places!
My son is 7 years old. He loves looking at his globe and wall maps and talking about where people and places are but I was just noticing our paper wall maps are falling apart and we sure could use some nicer, sturdier ones!!
“Liked” Pin It Maps on Facebook and so glad I did! The Biome Sorting Cards look so awesome! I’m downloading them now!
My kids are 3 and 5 – and we primarily use puzzles, a globe and maps to study geography! This pinning system looks awesome!!!
My children are 4, 6 and almost 9. We talk about people we know and mark on the map where they are from. We have also read about children from around the world in the Compassion magazine and then looked at the map to see where they are from.
My sons are 15, 6, and 2. They love maps, love watching Carmen Sandiago, and love charting places where missionaries live. We don’t have a geography curriculum, but both boys would love one. I’ve been looking for things all week and this would be perfect for them.
We study geography by drawing the maps every day. The children each have their own sketch book to record their progress. My kids are 12, 10, 8, 4, and 4
Hands down best lessons have been traveling has around the US. Boys are 9 and 11 and have been to 46 states. We also use Knowledge Quest Maps, Flat Stanley to family around Europe, and always search out places that peak our curiosity when reading!!
My kids are 9, 6, and 5. My 5 year old started to learn states and capitals and memorized them all at age of 3. Because of him my older kids have picked up on it. And now they all love to learn about new places and maps. We take a 4 week trip across the U.S. Or Canada every year and that is the best way they pick up and learn about where things are geographically. This would be my 5 year olds dream program. He loves maps.
My older kids are 10, 7, 6 and 3. We have not yet formally studied geography, but discuss it as it comes up in our daily life and studies.
This is really cool! Thanks for sharing it. Kids are 19, 16, 12, 12, 6, 1. ❤️

I have a 12 year old and a 3 year old. Right now I just let my daughter explore on Google Earth and I find free worksheets on the interent.
My kiddos are 5,4,3,1 and we love studying geography through reading our FIAR books. We also love in Thailand and learn about geography by traveling to different parts of the world!
I forgot to mention what we use for geography. That is one subject I have always struggled with in 15 years of homeschooling. We have never found something we love. We use maps, games and the globe. 🙂
I have only one left in homeschool. He is 16 and started in North Star’s Geography curriculum. So far…he loves it! 🙂
My kids are elementary age and right now we are working on learning geography through Classical Conversations and drawing. Pin maps would be a fun way to expand our learning!

I have a 13 year old and almost 3 year old. We have tried a couple of different books with our oldest, but it only holds some excitement. Try to show where I have been, or her dad, but a little lax as far as I am concerned. Would like to ramp it up!
My kids are 7, 4, and 1. We are currently mostly just using Highlights Top Secret with the 7yo. She loves them. We all love maps, though.
5 and 7. We love exploring maps and play lots of games that are map related (Rails, pandemic, puzzles, etc).
My guys are 8 and 10. We play games with the globe and travel magazines, track our packages, and play Stack the States and Stack the Countries.
My kids are 9,8,6,5, and 2. We used Galloping the Globe for geography along with books from the library and lots of road trips.
My kids are 10,8,6,and2 1/2. We usually look up states and countries on the map as we come in contact with them through people we meet. I would LOVE this, especially to challenge myself- I mean the kids, definitely the kids. Maybe I could play after bedtime? 🙂
I have a 13 year old and a 7.5 year old. We don’t have a formal geography program; we have an atlas, map puzzles and a globe that we pull out regularly. We look up the places we are reading about, or have watched documentaries/movies about, try to find those places in the atlas, and occasionally make maps of places (although we prefer inventing our own maps for stories).
My kids are 6 and a half and 13 months. I don’t do geography with my youngest, of course, but with my oldest, we are doing Classical Conversations this year, so we simply study whatever coincides with the memory work for the week. It’s been a great way to have structure, yet within that structure is plenty of freedom to dig deeper and learn more. These maps would be such a great addition to our geography studies.
My child is 10 yrs old. She has been doing the Little Passports States subscription which she will finish this year. We do more research on the states she gets each month. She has also been doing the Evan moor workbook called Daily Geography Practice which teaches her how to read maps and terms. We also use our globe and atlas books to look at and learn together. Then we have some games that teach the states, capitals, etc, that we play.
I have an 8 year old boy followed by four girls ages 7, 5, 3 and 17 months. We currently study geography with Geography Songs and our Story of the World map pages.
My son is 7 years old. He loves geography, we have maps everywhere in our home. His Dad was a long haul truck driver and we learned so much about the United States! We would love to venture out to other countries and this will be perfect!
One. Age 10. We do CC, so a lot of memorization!
Hello! I have 3 children (10,9,8) and we study geography by travelling! They use maps that are laminated to map out our trip and then calculate mileage flown and or driven and then locate different states and capitals or countries and capitals that we go through and visit. They have done this for USA vacations, Mexico and Europe Vacations and we hope to keep it going!

My kids are 10 and 6- we love studying geography thru great books, ywam missionary books, tracing maps, and following the news. Love this giveaway!
My 8 & 11 yo children would love this. They learned best when it’s hands-on. Plus, we’ll be doing a fair amount of geography this year.
We LOVE maps! My kids collect maps from various vacations and field trips. We incorporate geography into whatever we are learning, especially history and religion. Our kids are 10, 8, and 2.
I have three boys ages 9, 12 & 13 and we use Trail Guide to Geography and we love it! This map set looks awesome and I will buy one if we don’t win. Maybe you could offer your readers a discount? Hint, Hint. ; ). Thank you!
Whoops! Just saw the discount! Thanks!
My child is in elementary …..we would love this set….we use books on places, you tube videos, maps and other magazines for our geography studies…..

My children are 6, 5, and 3. We have a map of the United States and a map of the world on the wall next to our kitchen table, which doubles as our homeschool table, and we look at them to find places and countries whenever we hear or read about one.
I have always enjoyed geography, and it would be so fun to win this package!
kids are 9, 7, and 4. Have just used maps, library books and internet in the past. Looking to do geography a little more formally this year. Great give-away, thanks!
I have a 9 year old son and we currently study geography by using a mark able map with wet erase markers.
I am currently homeschool twin 5 year old boys and so far we have just used a globe to learn about the places learned in stories. This year we will start with maps.
I have a 7-year-old boy and a 17-month-old girl. My son has done some work in a basic geography workbook to learn about map basics, and we enjoy just exploring Google Earth and our globe! We’ll be doing a geography unit in his Moving Beyond the Page curriculum this year. This giveaway would be wonderful!
My kids are 6, 5, 3, 1, and 4 months. We currently use maps and stories to learn about geography and people. Would love these maps and would love to add pins where we travel too!
I have an 9 year old, a 6 year old and a 3 year old. My oldest likes to used phone to look at maps.. We also have some map puzzles and atlases that the kids can look at.

My girls are 4 and almost 7. We have used Little Passports in the past but now go along with what we are learning in CC. This program sounds awesome!
I have 4 children: 7,5,2,0. We use Montessori globe and three part cards for learning about continents. We just started to really explore Africa and are using a laminated map we can draw on along with a fabric world map we can label with cards.
Kids are 6,5, and 4. Right now we have one magnetic map of Europe to Russia. We also are trying to find flags to match to countries. I am also thinking of purchasing Map fabric. We would love this ! 🙂 I am also sharing 🙂
2weeks, 2yrs, 4yrs and 6yrs.
We are using beginning geography and story of the world.
Kiddos are 10, 8, 6, and 4 and we use an old yard sale globe and wall maps!
Kids are 7, 5, and a baby. Geography so far has been learning about maps using a globe, map puzzles, and resources from the library. Would love to have Pin It! Maps Package.
So cool! I’ve never seen a map setup quite like this.
My daughter is 6. We haven’t done any official geography yet…mostly just answering her questions about where in the world people speak different languages. Pin It! Maps look like a great way to make learning geography much more hands on!
My kids are 13, 12, 8 and 4 and we are going to be using Mapping the World through Art for our geography studies this year.
11,9,7,3 & 10mo
We are studying world geography, countries & cultures as our main focus this year, via My Father’s World, but with supplemental reading and research
Our 6 year old has geography mixed in with the BookShark curriculum but loves to use the globe we have to find different places that she’s heard of.
Shared on Facebook!
My 5 year old loves animals, so his geography learning is tied to where animals and dinosaurs live. We also have friends and family throughout the U.S. so we get to hear about and even travel to some fun places for some great learning!
My kids are ages 11,8,2. This is our first year homeschooling so I’m not sure how we will study Geography, but this would be awesome to have in our home to learn with 😉
I shared on Facebook
I shared this page!
My kids are 6 and 3 and we study maps as we travel and love Stack the States and Stack the Countries on the iPad.
My boys are 8 & 4, they love maps, we study geography with world/state map puzzles. Traveling on road trips with an Atlas and cultural studies of places with food, festivals, dress and since they are boys, weapons etc. I collect old National Geographic maps, just because they are beautiful, it would be amazing to have a set that is as interactive and learning friendly!
We have a globe we picked up at Goodwill that we bring out both for history and geography
I have a 2nd grader and we have some geography/mapping workbooks, plus puzzles, and an atlas that he sits and studies on his own. This sounds like it would be a good addition!
My son is 12, and don’t currently have a Geography Curriculum. He gets so bored with the book & worksheets. This looks like a great alternative.
My kids are 9, 7, 4, 3, & 1. I am just diving into geography and have just made some of my own lessons, have some maps, and am looking for something better! Lol
Pin It! Would add so much to our learning!
Hello my kiddos are 8,5 and 3 and we haven’t started geography yet so we would love to win this!!
I have three girls. Ages 9, 5 and 2. I also watch my nephew who is 3. We learn geography through the highlights program called which way USA. It’s been a good program but I don’t feel like they are retaining enough information about each state, continent or country we study.
My boys are first and second grade. Currently, we study geography by reading books, playing games (love Professor Noggins card games!), puzzles of maps, and just reading and looking at maps. 🙂
How old are your kids, and how do you currently study geography in your homeschool? – My kids are 18 16 14 and 11 we are currently using lapbooks to study geography
Currently shared on my school facebook page as well as my personal facebook page Dacia Capps
My children are 16, 14, 9 and 5. They love geography! We currently have a sticky wall map and a poster style map. I’ve been looking for a map tablecloth and other ways to have maps throughout our home because the ones we have are under high demand. We need to increase our map resources!
My 6 year old is all excited about our trips to Europe to visit family there and explore landmarks and “crazy” cultural traditions. So geography and history is a part of our daily life and schoolwork 🙂
My boys are 7 & 5 and so far we study Geography through history and we learn about where friends live. This map set looks awesome!
My boys are 12, 10, and 8. We study geography mostly by workbooks and map searches.
I homeschool my boy (8 years old tomorrow!). We believe that geography, culture, and language are things that are best learned through experience. In 2012, we sold our business and traveled to 15 countries. We plan to do this again in about a year. Until then, we would LOVE this set. Thanks for holding the contest!
My sons are 12, 6, and 2. We use maps, a kids atlas, and other childrens geography books.
My kids are 7 & 10 and we like to use an Atlas book or look things up online.

my kids are 15, 13, 4 and 3. My MIL gave us a globe and we watch travel shows. As my children are Kinesthetic/Tactile learners the Montessori approach appeals to me. However the materials are cost prohibitive living on Disability. I do what I can with what I have, where I am. This set would be lovely, and I would be SO grateful.
My homeschooling kiddos are 11, 9, and 3. We like to play with the globe and explore the world via the web. We play games and puzzles too.
My children are ages 14 and 11. We were using a wall map for geography (as well as worksheets and such), but with its enormous size, I don’t think they are truly getting and understanding the subject. So this year, I have done research on each country to give them a better understanding of borders, economics, mathematics, history, geography, topography, and many other subjects.
My child is 7. Most of our geography has been through a workbook (which gets boring)
My kids that are still at home with me are 11, 8 and 2. We currently just talk about other countries. A nice map like this would be awesome. We are a Christian unschooling/Waldorf family.

Our kiddos are 15, 13, 11 and 9. We study geography by looking at wall maps when we read about places. I think my kiddos would enjoy Pin It Maps so much!

Just posted about this giveaway on Facebook 🙂
My 8 year old daughter and I study geography by looking up where the stories we are reading about are taking place.
My children are 12, 10, 8, 5, and 8 months. We don’t have a set Geography curriculum that we use but study it within our Apologia Science (currently on zoology 3:Land Animals) and our Histroy of the a world curriculums. My children love drawing flags of all the different countries and studying different maps. We would ALL love this set!

Thank you so much for this opportunity! My kiddos are 6 and almost 11. We are blessed to be able to learn about geography by traveling to many wonderful places in the US and abroad. We also have been learning US & World Geography through http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/. They have a fun game format which my boys really enjoy. Pin maps would be a terrific way to help us dive deeper into our geography studies. Thanks!
My kids are 10, 8, and 4 and we have big maps on our wall as well as map placemats that we quiz the kids on during meal times. Thanks for the giveaway!
I shared on facebook.
My kids are 6, 4, 3, and 1. They love to look at maps and discuss where places are and how long it would take us to get there. We try to include geography with our history as we learn about places. We are doing world history now.

My boys are 6 and 8. We are using the “Trip Around the World” series as well as a really practical workbook “Map Skills” from Instructional Fair (carson -Dellosa) which when I found it was rapidly disappearing from stores as it is out of print. We also have
a globe that can do night sky over the continents.
My sons would love the hands-on big maps.
Aloha,
Our boys are four and six and the whole family is crazy for maps and globes! We “study” geography on a daily basis as it comes up in books, where friends and family reside throughout the world, where our favorite animals live and our dream destinations wish list…
Have a wonderful day!
My six year old loves looking at globes and atlases and tying his geography with history. We always have to have a map handy when we’re reading 🙂
16, 14, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 & 1
Right now we are using Around the world in 180days for my teens, Childs Geography: Explore His Earth for the middles and puzzles and apps for the littles
Our kids are 12, 11, 7 and 4. We have geo workbooks and we do a bit of map reading when we go on hikes.
My girls are 3 1/2 and 5 and would love these maps! I would these maps! Thank you for the giveaway!
My son is 3.5, and about to begin preschool, so we’re just getting ready. We talk about different states we’ve been to & find them on a map, and talk about how the geography/weather/ecosystems are different.
My kiddo’s re 7 and 9 and we study geography last year from our Awana Gold and Silver sections. This year we are using Beautiful Feet for Social Studies (California and US History) and plan to follow with a California and US Map. We also LOVE to play Name that Country board game as a family and we use Stack the Countries App while on the go.
Hi my 7&9 yr olds love A child’s geography by Ann voskamp, we also have a large world map on the wall and they are constantly looking to find places that come up in books or on TV
8,6,3, and one month. We learn with Costco maps and YouTube.
Looks awesome! We have two 7 yr olds, 1 6 yr old and a 4 yr old. We are just starting geography this year using The Family School curriculum!
My kids are 5 and 7. For geography we’ve been using puzzle maps but my 7 year old has totally lost interest! We started playing race across the United States this year and she loved that- learned so much so quickly. Pin maps are on my wish list and have been for a while now! We are ready!
Our daughters are 32, 29, and 27. I homeschooled them and now help school their children. We read great books and study maps to learn more about places in the world. I also use you tube videos and songs to make the world come alive to them. I would love to win this pin it geography collection to encourage their knowledge and understanding of the world.
I just shared it on FB!
My children are 9, 7, 5, and 1. We are studying geography at our co-op but we love maps!
I shared on FaceBook.
This years students are currently 17, 14, 9 & 6
When in grade school they use the Daily Geography books, and love them! We also have Geography puzzles we do on a some-what regular basis. We also encourage atlas use when wondering where somewhere is (like missionaries we know!)
My kids are 15, 13, 11, & 11. We are using Easy Peasy this year for geography.
My daughter is 6 and we are beginning geography this year starting with US Geography. We are using Road Trip USA, A Journey Across the United States from Confessions of a Homeschooler.
I am still fairly new to homeschooling my 12, 11, 9, 8 and 6 year old kids. We are just starting geography this year (a little overwhelmed to start it last year, our first official year homeschooling). So this would be perfect!!!
Posted/Shared on FB!
17,15,14,12,11,8,6&4
We are using Around The World In 180 Days– this would be awesome to supplement with it!!!!
My boys are 8 and 3. We study geography through literature, around the world studies, and studying maps and globes for fun.

My kids are 5 and 8 years old. We are currently studying United States geography. Our favorite part is using maps and cooking regional dishes.
My family is starting, for the first time (!), homeschooling next week. I have an 11 year old and an 8 year old. We don’t even have all our books, etc yet, so I don’t have a current way, but this would be a WONDERFUL surprise! I love hands-on, and I can remember my parents helping me study US geography in elementary school. We used a lot of home-made flash cards then, and I still remember a lot from those practices!
My girls are 6 & 8 we study the local area w local maps. And are looking for an updated globe at garage sales. We tak about the areas in the bible and where our compassion international child is in Africa. So I guess as it rises
Our children are 9&8. First year homeschooling all the way through. We are using a book a friend let us use on maps and globes right now.
One daughter who is currently 12. We’ve covered some geography with The Story of the World as well as some apps that help with learning about the states.
My son is thirteen and this past year was our first year of homeschooling.
Every day we read about a different holiday in a different country. Then my son finds that country on his globe. Once he has located that country he looks it up on the computer to learn about the geography, customs, and people. We finish by reviewing the locations and facts of the countries previously studied.
My kids are 4, 6 and 8. We did our own study of the Canadian provinces. Next week we’re travelling across 3 states…that will be part of our U.S. Study for next year. 🙂
We have four kids, ages 3 – 16. We haven’t focused nearly enough on geography, only having memorized the continents, oceans, U.S. states, and stopping now and then to refer to or find a location on our broken plastic globe. I recently learned about Pin-It Maps while researching Montessori preschool methods, but even this more reasonably priced package is beyond our budget. What an excellent way for our kids to learn about the world – we’d love to win the set!
We shared on Facebook!!!!
My kids are 4 and 11 months. We do geography by studying maps (like at the zoo) and just looking at them. We talk about where we live and where other people live that we know. We also have a puzzle of the US.
Kiddos: 8, 6, 4.5, 3, 6months. So far we have only “studied” geography by traveling between North and South America various times, talking about the places mom and dad have lived in/traveled to, and looking at maps for fun, talking about distances from here to there, ect. as those topics come up in every day life.

My son Lucca is age 8. We started homeschooling this year, and are excited to continue his Montessori education at home. His father is a pilot, so on every trip he goes on, we try to find it on the map. My son loves cultures and history. We are moving to Saudi Arabia, and we are looking forward to studying hands on, another part of the world 😉
I shared on fb
My kids are 16 and 12. We have always had a map of the world shower curtain right in front of the toilet. heehee! Surprisingly when you have seen it every day for that many years, some of it sinks in. We also used the small books called “Daily Geography.” My daughter loves the kindle apps “Stack the States” and “Stack the Countries.”
My kids are 11, 9, 7, and 4. We use our globe, a box of National Geographic maps, atlases, and wall maps to find places of interest and locations relevant to our studies. These pin maps look awesome!!!
My kids are 6, 4 and 4. We currently use map that we got from the one spot at Target to study geography.
My daughter is one and I also homeschool other kids in the area. We love the giant floor map that we have and learning about different cultures during our geography topics. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
We would love to win this one! My children (9, 7, 5) love geography (we use an old globe) and are especially fascinated with flags from different countries. We play a lot of games and look up every location that we read about in the news or and stories.
We are educating 5 children presently ages 13,12.10.9 and 7. For geography we use puzzles and library books.
my child is four and for the last year, we’ve had a continent a month for focus, and then we read stories with that continent for a setting, listen to some music, eat food from another country, etc. oh yes, we also have fun placemats for every continent with fun pictures and facts. we also love looking at our globe.
My kids are 6, 11, and 13 and we incorporate geography into our social studies and history curricula. We also love geography songs, like Fifty Nifty United States. What a cool new product you are giving away!
Also posted to FB. 🙂
My children are 5 and 8 and this is our second year homeschooling. Last year we used large wall maps and several United States board games and state apps for learning US states and capitals. This year we are looking at world geography and will be learning the continents and which countries are found on which continents – this would be an awesome addition to that study!
My boys are 13, 11, 9, and 4. We spent a year studying geography and cultures and tied many other subjects into whichever continent we were on using My Father’s World Exploring Countries and Culture. Now, we keep a globe, world map and US map up and often find places that come up in conversation or from books we are reading or missionaries we hear about or meet. As missionaries ourselves, we love maps and learning about the many cultures around the world that God loves.
I’ve also shared this on Facebook.
My children are 1, 4, 7 and 10. We currently study geography by locating places on our world map whenever they come up in books we are reading or discussions we are having. Much gratitude,
We homeschool our 2 kids, ages 8 1/2 and 7. We do a few things for geography. We use Oak Meadows’ nature based curriculum for social studies, this year we will also be using Confessions of a Homeschooler’s Global Expedition World Geography. My kids also attend a local program for Homelearners called Fresh Air learning, where 2 days per week they are outside all day learning about local geography in Vancouver and other nature related learning.
My boys are 10 and 12. Currently, we are learning geography through literature. We are reading through Around the World in 80 Days, for History and during “family reading” time, we are spending this school year reading through the 39 Clues series. This set would be a perfect fit with what I wanted to do as far as tracking the places we visit during the literature. We also spend time doing special writing assignments and other activities to celebrate the places we “visit”.
My boys are 9, 6 and 2. We like to look on maps or the globe to find places that we hear or read about. We’re also big fans of reading about different locations.

Kids are 8, 6 and 5. We study one region a year, lat year was north america this year is Asia.
We have been on a long wandering car trip and my son, 8 ,requested to do formal geography lessons during our school year. It would be very exciting to win this .
My boys are 10 and 11. We study geography through the books we read, using our maps and Googke maps and documentaries. Thanks!
Ages 2, 4, and 8. Through reading books and using our globe!
I have been debating about these maps for weeks now! I also shared on on FB .
What an awesome resource! My kids are 16, 13, 11, 8, 6, 3, and 1. We study geography through reading many many books, finding places on maps as we read, talking about places around the world. We’ve been back in Canada for eight years now, but before that we lived overseas for several years, and have traveled to many countries. So we also study geography through our memories and experiences and stories and pictures. My eight year old is especially wild about geography!
My daughter is about to turn 5 and my son is 6 1/2. We will be doing unit studies of different counties this year, at the rate of about one country every week or two. We’ll learn about landmarks, listen to music, follow recipes, identify the flag, and read stories about children from the area. We love geography!
I have a first grader and since we do not live near family and travel a lot, our geography is looking at maps seeing where people live and where we are going.

My kids are 4 and 10! We currently are studying geography with a diy continent map with tooth pick flags, a diy continent globe, and a DIY hemisphere globe! Of course, we use books and other montessori card materials that we have made as well! We would adore these materials I. Our classroom! And I shared this giveaway on face book as well!
My kids are 17, 15, 11, 9, 7, 6, and 4.
We do lots of reading about different places and use maps and a globe to look up locations. Would love this resource!
Unfortunately we don’t learn do a whole of map exploring where we study maps, and I know we should because it’s a big part of classical approach for home school. We have a globe but a globe by itself is very limited. This mom here isn’t a map person but my son loves maps, so something like this for him to do would be a great addition. Definitely worth me checking it out!
I also shared this on Facebook.
My daughter will be a freshman this year, and it is our first year homeschooling. She never studied geography before. I am really excited about this set!
My 13 year old and I begin geography this year by leaning heavily on National Geographic. We have a box full of old magazines and map inserts. We are approaching our studies as if we were travelers crossing the globe–checking out guides from the library.

My kids are 13, 11, 8, 6, 5 and we just got a globe and we do fun games using that. I also use a lot of things I find on Pinterest. Always looking for new fun creative ideas though! =)
My oldest has the LeapReader and loves the world map.

I have three children still at home: 17yo, 14yo, and 10 yo. The 10 has special needs and functions around the 1st grade level. She adores maps, though. We have a world map that she pores over and some GeoPuzzles. The Pin It! Maps would make her heart sing!
My daughter just turned 3 years old. She is being exposed to geography by having access to a globe and maps, and we talk about cities/states relatives live. Also when we do road trips (eg, we drive from CA to WA each summer to visit family) she has a backseat map I print of our travel route so she has an idea of where we are.
Hello! What a fantastic giveaway. My kids are 12 and 14, and we study geography in the context of history. My 12-year old is particularly interested, so this year we’ve begun extra geography study simply because he loves it! We use books, wall map, globe, historical atlases, and puzzles.
We have four at home- 7, 6, 4 and 2, and a new one coming in November. Currently for geography we are hoping to pray for a different country each week, and read about it where we can. I love this idea, though, it’s so hands on for my two boys. And they loooove maps!
My children are 9, 6, 2 and 1. Currently we do geography in conjunction with history. Whenever we discuss a country we find it on a globe or map. But my kids are fascinated by maps!

8, 5, and 2. GeoPuzzles are a favorite around here for geography, as well as some country unit studies.
Seven and eleven. Trail Guide to world geography curriculum.
My kids are 13, 9 and 6. We study geography using The Story of the World, our globe and an atlas.
Children are 9,6,3,1.
Now we are using books and puzzles to learn our geography lessons.
My kids are age 16, 12, & 8 years old. We often study geography using books, atlas, our bibles, and the internet. My kids love learning about new places and the history behind them.
My children are 5 and 6. I love travel and exploring different cultures so we talk about countries, and read about them often. We use map placemats at meals and talk about the places on them. We pull out our globe often, and recently when my husband went to Ghana, we spent quite a bit of time talking and reading about that country.
We currently do Classical Conversations and learn the geography on the current cycle. We use a globe and atlases. My kids are 4 and 7.
Ages 6 and 3. We look at the globe and USA map whenever we can. This sounds like a great curriculum option!
My kids are 3, 6. We look at maps and our globe. We are looking at individual states online to get info about their geography too:)
5 and 3….map puzzles
My kids are 5, 3, and 1, and we love to READ about all different places!

3 and 4. We have conversations about our travels (visiting family out of state and in Austrialia) and studying maps. Geography is starting to be a big interest here!
I am preparing to homeschool my grandchild in a few years. When I homeschooled my son, we didn’t use a geography curriculum. We had maps all over the walls and I taught my son how to read a map (before GPS) with a Thomas Map Guide. I made up my own worksheets to teach State Capitols, bodies of water, and types of land (island, peninsula, continent). These maps looks awesome!! I love geography and maps.
My kids are 8, 6, 3 and a newborn. This year we are tracking different people we study on their voyages around the world.
Story of World, globe and atlas. 9,7,4,2. Love this!!!!
I have eight kids, ages 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, and 14. We study geography through unit studies, we LOVE maps in our house.
My kids are 5 and 2 and we currently learn about geography through traveling, discussion, and books. 🙂
I have been praying for the resources to purchSe these incredible maps! ????????????????????????

My children are 4 and 6 and we just started this year (1st grade) with Oak Meadow but we also throw in some reading suggestions from ambleside online. So we have been reading Paddle-to-the-Sea which is a great geography lesson!
My boys are 14, 13 and 10, though I only homeschool the younger two right now. We’ve tried a variety of approaches to geography…one of our favorites was Expedition Earth through Knowledge Quest. 🙂

Hello,
My 5 girls are 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11. We use a variety of materials to study geography including puzzles, road atlases, Internet games and one of our favorites- a big old plastic topographical map found at a thrift shop years ago (sadly, it’s falling apart now). We would love this addition to our homeschool!
My name is Alex Smith. My kids are 12, 6, 4, 1.5, and 2 months old. This is our 3rd year homeschooling. We study geography by choosing a country each month, getting books from the library about all aspects of the country, the people, the art, the music, cookbooks, etc and integrating all of that into our lives as much as we can for that month.
My children are ages 8 and 5. We study geography by connecting news events to where it is located on the map. We study Story of the World and we use the maps in that program as well.
Mine are 10, 8, 5, 3, and baby. We label maps and find things on globes. These look fun!
My son is 11, and we have been learning geography through unit studies and by playing games.
My kids are 5,3 and 1. We study geography very informally. We have placemat maps and pull them out whenever we read or talk about another country or state. The kids love to talk and learn about far away places.
Kids are 1, 4, and 6. We are using Beautiful Feet curriculum this year and have a workbook on geography. We also like looking up places where loved ones are traveling/living abroad on our giant Costco map.
11, 9, 7
Currently we do a lot of story, history w/geography. We had a huge map up in our kitchen for years but it recently got destroyed (I have all boys – go figure) and we need something! I would love to win this.
My homeschoolers are 9. We’ve been using a workbook we got at the big box store and a map. :/
My children ages 11 and 8 study geography study it along with their current history curriculum. It would be great if we win this so we can study geography better. Both kids love studying about the world.
My son is 5 and we have a huge wall map and globe. We been mailing out Flat Stanley to family and friends in different states and then do a unit study on each state.

My kids are 10,9,6,3. Currently, my oldest is using a workbook for geography, and we also use paper/online maps to supplement our history studies. But we could definitely use better tools for this!!
My 15 year old studies geography during social studies/history work. I also teach geography at our coop.
What a wonderful resource! I hope I win. 🙂
We love to travel and show our kids 11 & 8 the world.
My boys are 11 and 13 and we currently study Geography with our Sonlight curriculum. We also play geography games, look at the globe, and talk about current events. It helps that my husband grew up in Africa, they have an aunt from Brazil, family that lives in Germany and Sweden.
My kids are 11 and 14. We use the maps from Mystery of History to get a bit of Geography in, but we could certainly use more!
My kids are 5 and 3. Still young, but we are a bilingual family and host many friends or friends of friends from overseas. This has raised a lot of questions about country location, flags, languages, travel, etc. We are starting some simple unit studies in the fall that will cover some of the countries they’ve been asking about. I used to travel a lot and can no longer, so geography is my way to pretend I still am and to share my experiences with my kids until they can go off and discover the world on their own. 🙂
We have two kids, ages 1 and 3. Our 3 year old loves to point out the countries we’ve taught her on the map on our kitchen wall. She even knows a few flags too. The one year old likes to “copy” his sister by hitting the map. We also talk about the different places we live in, such as: our city is next to another town and they’re both in our province, which is in our country.
Shared on Facebook! These look so cool and I’m excited this in an international giveaway.

My kids are 8, 5, and 3. We study geography based on the time period in history that we are learning about. We have a large wall map that we use, and I’ve printed some off for hands-on work. I would like to incorporate learning the countries names and flags this year also.
My kiddos are 10 & 12. We currently study geography sporadically using various resources such as Galloping the Globe, atlases, etc.

Hello,
Currently for Geography we have a world physical geography book. We don’t have much for Geography and would be so lucky to win this. My kids are 13, 12, and 5.
The children I take care of are 3 and 5 years old. These would be a great addition to geography since we just have a globe so far and learning about where dinosaurs lived!
Hi, my boys are 10,10 and 7. We are starting homeschooling in the next school year here in New Zealand so currently looking for resources. My boys are all visual learners so books from the library are popular and these maps would also be wonderful. Thank you for this opportunity.

My children are 17, 16, 14,13 & 6. We use lifepacs and unit studies to study geography.
My kids are 7,6, and 2. We study geography through literature (I.e. Charting Jules Vernes’ path while reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) and by learning about other countries through work with local refugees.
My children are 6, 8 and 9 years old. We study geography and history together as well as culture as we travel the world vicariously on our world map, atlases and globes.
My 6 yo and I are reading “I Heard Good News Today” with short stories about missionaries while looking at a globe. We LOVE maps and I’ve gotten a lot good ideas from reading the comments here. Thanks!
My children are 12, 11, 8, and 5.
Last year we read Around the world in 80 days and studied the countries mentioned in the book.
My son is 4. Right now we have a placemat of the USA that we go over together. We also have a world map hanging up that we look at together.
Twin 8 year old girls. We are using Toad Trip USA and using library books about the states.
*Road Trip USA
My kids are 10, 6& 3. My kids love geography and regularly use the globe and maps to pretend they are traveling to new places. We often do lap books too. This looks like a great map!
My kids are 4, 5, and 7. We study geography with out homeschool co-op. I have my kids memories locations on maps and trace them.
My kids are 7, 4, and 2. Geography for us started with sandpaper globes, Montessori world puzzle and the book me on the map. We’ve made cosmic address nesting boxes, looked our atlas and used resources from the national and state parks. This year we’re really ready to push forward more and materials have been trickier.
My homeschooled kids are 1, 4, and 5. I also have a 10,year old stepson attending public school. Currently we use a globe beach ball for our geography discussions so we would greatly benefit from this.
My boys are 7, 4, and nearly 2. We study geography mostly in relation to current events and my boys make up map games.

What an amazing resource! I have DD17, DS 6 and DD3 homeschooling this year and we use a lot of maps in our house :-). We subscribe to National Geographic magazine, we also use Little Passports for the little kids. We keep scrapbooks of the places they are interested in and whenever we travel DD 3 and DS 6 like to have their own maps to navigate. After 12 months of saving we are planning 2 weeks in Europe this year to explore glaciers. DS wants to visit all 7 continents as a kid. He is so passionate about maps and we have puzzles, big Velcro floor mats and maps on the walls. These amazing maps and flags would delight their imagination!

My son is 6. Currently we have a world map and a us map on my bedroom wall. Last year as we read each book in the magic tree house series we’d find where they went on the map and pin it. We also added other places as we read other good books or looked up where friends lived. It was a great way to make this visual for him. Just this week, as we get ready for the new school year, we were going to empty our maps of pins to start again. Thanks.
My kids are almost 10, 7, 5 and 3. Right now we spin a globe and talk about countries. We also get books about countries out of the library.
My children are 10, 8, 6, 5, 3, & 1 and YES(!!), the two older ones have varying geography maps and they quiz each other at finding different locations. It fun and they teach me too! I’m super excited about this product – I’ve never heard of it before. Thanks for the opportunity to win! 🙂
My son is 12 and we use maps, globes, geography games, and the library to study geography. Would love to add this to our study plans.
Our kids are 5 and 8, and we use many different Geography learning resources, but I would highly recommend the National Geographic Kids Atlas, combined with a Hug-a-Globe!
6, 4, and 2. I’ve been trying to find a geography curriculum… Maybe this is it!
My kids are 8, 6 and 4. We use 2 huge wall maps of the U.S. and the world and refer to them when we are reading about specific places.
My kids are 5 and 2. We are just starting the continents this fall. We are using map puzzles, an inflatable globe and a children’s atlas to study geography in a very broad way right now. It is a part of our “universe and creation” unit study going outside in from the galaxy, planets, earth and moon, then geography, habitats, animals and plants.

My children are 7 and 4. We mostly use stories, books, and pictures to explore geography.
7, 5, and 2.. We are doing world geography with ‘Sing Around the World’ by Kathy Troxel and mini country books we purchased off teacherspayteachers.
I am interested in these for my classroom. My students are very language impaired and could use these for individual practice. I would love to win these for them!
We have two kids ages 9 & 4. We are currently using a mishmash of used thrift store buys as well as diy map materials. These would be awesome to use for our kids in our homeschool.
Shared on my Facebook page.
My children are 7, 10 and 12. We use Little Passports, map puzzles and online resources. We also always have a world map, a US map and a globe out for easy reference. My kids love making up trivia questions for each other too!
We have a 9 year old, a 2 year old, and a newborn. We’ve done the map work included in the Story of the World books, which is great for a historical perspective on things. We also have a map of the US and a world map on the wall and we frequently consult it to find out where various locations are. We also have a couple of map puzzles that we use. The labeling activities with these maps would be great for learning so much more.
My child is 14 and we normally study geography with a standard textbook curriculum, but this looks so much better!
My kids are 14, 9, 5 and 2. We use Sonlight and do geography along with our lessons.
This is very appealing to me, as someone who has kids in Montessori for many years. I loved how they studied geography in their classes
14,12,and 8. We study geography along side whatever history we are studying. Geography is so fun and I love these maps!
Wow! What an amazing give away! I have a 7, 6 & 3 year old. We currently do Geography through osmosis when talking about other topics and finding out about things that the children are interested in. My son LOVES the Horrible History books so we are often finding places on the map to see where certain battles and horrible things went on. 😀
My boys are 7 and 5. We just started homeschooling three weeks ago, so geography hasn’t been a focus yet. We look at maps with Story of The World and have a globe as well. These maps would be a wonderful addition.
My boys are 9, 7, 5 and 2. We haven’t done much with geography yet, but this would be a fascinating way to start! I love Montessori things.
I have 4 kids- ages 2, 4, 6, and 7. We have big maps up around the house, which we use to talk about locations of countries, capitals, cultures, etc. We also use other tools (soft globe, placemats, apps, puzzles) to do quizzing and such. We eat meals that are traditionally cooked in other countries, play with dolls/toys that originated other places, etc. We’re only just now doing some “formal” learning of the names of countries and flags with my 7 year old… this set looks really fantastic!!!
My boys are 6 & 4, and we use a big map and our missionary book to study about geography right now.
I have an 8 year old who loves geography and spends hours poring over the few paper maps we have at home. We really need a better way to study geography than this. My child also loves looking at old maps and comparing to current maps, opening a lot of discussion in history and geography. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway and great products! 🙂
My kiddos are 8,6 and 2. We are in a Classical Conversations group and study geography using their materials.
7,9 and we use maps, Google Earth, a globe, some puzzles and online games. We are using Galloping the Globe with our Story of The World History.
My son is 5 years old. He has a world map on the wall in his room and a map of North America beside it. He also has a world map puzzle, which helped him learn the names and locations of the continents. We also talk about family and friends that live in other cities and countries and locate it on the map. He learns better with hands on activities so Pin It! Maps would be an awesome way for him to learn more geography!
I homeschool my 9, 7, and 4 year olds. We use a lot of Highlights Magazine stuff for geography.
My kids are 8 and 3. Right now we are following Carmen San Diego around the world. We watch one episode a week, map where she goes, and we are graphing how many times she visits each continent. It’s so much fun!
My two oldest children are homeschool graduates and are in college. We used workbooks in the younger years and a textbook in high school for geography. My youngest is age 9. We currently tie geography into our history and literature studies. This looks wonderful!!
My children are 2,5 and 5. We do not have structured geography lesson, though I would like to have one.
My kids are 9 and 8. We trace laminated black line master maps from Classical Conversations and memorize locations.
My kids are 10, 7 and 4. We do geography as it relates to history. These maps look amazing!
2 girls ages 7 and 10.
We mostly study geography via praying for missionaries, people groups, and through mission oriented materials.
This curriculum looks fabulous!
Thanks for making someone especially through your generous offer!
My kids are 7 and 3. We have used Little Passports as a starting point for Geography and also have had success with some beautiful geography picture books.
My kids are 16, 12, 10, 6 and 3. Currently my oldest is doing Geography on the old schoolhouse website.
My children are 12 and 11. We explore geography using globes, an atlas and various puzzles. They went to a Montessori school when they were younger. I would LOVE to get a complete geography cabinet! Thanks for offering the giveaway! Fingers crossed!
My kids are 4, 5 ,7 and 9. We have lots of maps, globes, songs, and books that we use to learn about geography! These maps look like an invaluable resource!!! Three of my four children attended/attend Montessori preschool and we LOVE everything Montessori! There is such beauty to the materials and the method!!!
Kids are 8, 11, 13. We use sonlight for history and tie our geography into what we are studying in history. We are currently using trail guide to world geography along with the ultimate geography and timeline guide and a student atlas.
My kids are 16 and 6.
We always look at the map, which hangs in our living room, when we talk about things in the world, when read books to see where the author is from and where the story takes place, when we watch different sport events, like Olympics, when tracking our ebay orders from other countries. Also we collect packaging and envelopes with stamps from those packages for our geography boxes which my youngest loves the most. She also likes to “play” Montessori maps.
Thank you for the giveaway.
I just shared about this giveaway on Facebook as Tanya Rubezhov.

My kids are 6, 4 and 2. We have not studied geography before now, but we will be studying the Ancient World and geography with a globe this year. My husband loves maps, so we need these maps!
My children are 18 (graduated!), 16, 12, 6,5,3, and 1. We are using Sonlight for our 16 yo and Nat Geo for my other preschoolers. These maps would be an amazing hands on resource!
Hello! I have a brand new Montessori school in Rio Rancho, NM. My Elementary classroom has students ages 5-13 and we do a lot with geography! Currently we have been coloring blank maps and borrowing puzzle maps from the Primary classroom. We love atlases and books and occasionally enjoy electronic options. We’ve been saving up for a great set of pin maps and yours are by far our first choice! Thank you so much for this opportunity! 🙂
My kids are 17, 15 and 9. My 17 yr old is graduating this year…for the other two we explore maps and globes and they like to pick a country and then research it online. My 17 yr old participated in an “International Day” every year where a group of homeschooled kids each picked a country to research and then made a display telling all about it…even making the food that is common there. They had a blast learning all about the world and tasting many new foods!
My kids are 9, 8, 6, and 4. We’ve got an ongoing licence plate hunt going on, we’re trying to spot licence plates from as many provinces, territories, and states as we can!

My kiddos are 10 and 12. This is our second year to homeschool and first year to study geography. I have not yet found a curriculum that made me say “wow, i want to use and teach that one” until now…i would love to use and teach this one!
My children are 6 and 8, and we are just beginning our homeschool journey this year. I’m not sure yet how we will study geography but this set would jumpstart our approach!
My children are 6 and 9. Currently we are studying the countries by borrowing books from the library and working on reports. We have a travel map and as we study the countries we “scratch off” what we are studying.
This is our second year homeschooling. I have a 7, 5, 3, and 7 month old. We love to do Map puzzles, coloring pages, play Stack the States, and we have maps for placemats. 🙂 This resource looks like so much fun and right up our alley! Thanks for the opportunity!
I have two children I would use this with. They are 9 and 12. We have done various activities to learn about different countries and cultures aroudn the world. These maps would be an amazing addition! Thank you for the opportunity to win them!
My son is 6. We are just starting this year and will be using A Beka as well as Map Trek for now. We shall see what unfolds! (pun intended)
7, 4, and 2. We study geography whenever it come upon our readings (constantly), and we are currently using Geography Songs in our daily memory work.
My kids are 6, 5, 2 and 1. We are just starting geography this year and this would be an AWESOME way to study it!!
We are currently home educating our three youngest kids (ages 5, 9, and 14), as our older two are now in college. We’ve used various methods of studying geography, even a home-made pin system similar to the one in the giveaway. Ours is very basic, utilizing my sewing pins and a world map glued to corkboard then attached to the wall of our homeschool room. We pin those countries we pray for as we read about them in God’s World News magazine for kids. PinIt! maps would be a great tool for our intercessory geography activities. Thanks for chance to win them!
My daughter is 9. I have a huge world map and U.S. Map in our hallway to look places up as we read about them. We also have a board game for US geography. This would be so much better! Awesome project!
Our kids are 21,16,14 and 12. We have used many geography homeschool curriculums and had little luck with consistent learning. Trail Guide to World Geography worked well for a while. This would be fantastic, with the incorporation of the 3D flags!
My children are 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2. I haven’t followed any geography curriculum. We bought a shower curtain that is a full world map and we love it! We also have a geography game called name that country. I would love to incorporate these maps into our homeschool. They look so fun and hands on and it seems like something that all of my children can use!
My children are 7, 5, and 2, and most of our geography study has come up from the kids asking questions inspired by the books we’re reading or topics we’re discussing. We have a map up on the wall but I think we’ll do something more in depth this coming school year. I would love a resource like this!
My kids are 6, 4, and 3, and we study geography through coloring books, puzzles (world and country), and last year we did a “trip” around the world (pretend trip, but still fun!). Thanks for the opportunity – your maps look amazing and fun and hands on!
I shared on FB too!
One 9th grade daughter would love to learn geography with a hands on approach. Being the youngest of 5 leaves her with many leftovers. Looks like fun to me!
My children are 13, 10 and 6. We live in South Africa and use Sonlight and our own eclectic choices for Geography. Would LOVE to use this great programme!
I am beginning my 11th year of homeschooling my 15 year old daughter. We usually study geography within the framework of history. This year, we will be studying modern US History beginning with WW1. This would be fabulous to help with that! Especially since we are focusing on economics and all of the wars The US fought in since WW1.
I shared about this giveaway on Facebook!
I have an 8 year old son who loves geography. Currently we study geography by finding and mapping the settings of stories we’re reading or history lessons we’re studying. He’s learning to use a map to plot routes from place to place when traveling. He also enjoys completing the “Top Secret Adventure” packs and locating places on the globe.
19, 17, 15, 8, 6, 4 and 1. This year we’re doing some Sonlight and also another curriculum that I’ve pieced together. This is going to be a great year studying world history and geography!
Also, I shared on Facebook!
Our children are young, 4 years, 19 months and a newborn, so our geography consists of irregularly naming countries on a world map.
We live in the UK. My son is 6 and my daughter is nearly four. We currently use an illuminated globe to find out where places are (where relatives live, where animals’ habitats are, natural wonders etc.) and they also enjoy poring over road maps and ordnance survey maps when we visit new places. I ask them to imagine being birds in flight looking down on the landscape below as we travel, and we pay attention to signs which help us to tell where the cardinal points of the compass are. We are looking forward to tracking grandpa’s progress as he begins a two year sailing trip around the world and I am looking out for some large scale maps to help us!
This looks so great! We drew maps last year to help with geography. Our kids are 14, 10 10.
My kids are 9,7,4 &2. We are just starting to homeschool this fall, so I’m still looking for fun ideas to teach geography.
Hello, our children are nearly 4 and 7 and they both share my fascination with geagraphy. We live at the bottom of the globe in New Zealand. We have a large wall map and flags around the edge and play games to track down countries and animals that live there. Blindfolds on and find the continents. I can almost hear the shrieks of delight to winning this amazing educational fun package. Fingers crossed for our two in little Nz.
I have one daughter age six and we haven’t done any Geography yet. Thanks for the give-away contest!!
My children are 11 & 8. This is our first year homeschooling so right now we’re just going by the books!
Oh. And i shared on FB amd tagged a friend!
Kids are 9 and 7. We’re new to homeschooling and don’t have a set geography plan yet. We are learning states and capitals, north america countries, continents, and bodies of water.
I have 3 boys, ages 10, 8, and 3. We have done a little geography but nothing formal. Map puzzles, Stack the States app, looking at the globe to find where things are. Right now my 10 year old is researching the US states and making a book with his findings, so I think he is going to have an even better knowledge of US geography after that. 😉 This set looks great!

I am homeschooling one six-year-old. So far we have worked with globes and continent puzzle maps. I was helping a friend assemble her set of Pin It! Maps last week and I just love this tool! So fun! I would love to have a set for my son.
Also, I shared this on Facebook and tagged friends. 🙂
I homeschool my 8 and 12 year old. We use many resources for Geography, but primarily Little Passports, Top Secret Adventures, and Story of the World. I shared this giveaway on Facebook, too.
Two HS kids, 10 and 8. Mostly just stories and talking.

Our kids are 15, 12 & 1. To study geography, we have primarily colored & labelled copies of blank maps!
We are beginning our homeschooling adventure with our 10, 9, 6, 4, & 2 year old. We are looking for resources to fill student educational goals and this pin map looks super fun! Thanks for sharing so many great tips and resources!
My kid is 4 but we are starting homeschool now. We use maps and puzzles to learn about geography.
My kids are 8, 6, and 2. We study geography cyclical with Classical Conversations. We have big goals this year, and would live to use these naps to reach them!
I’ve shared this giveaway on Facebook via the Pin it! Page.
My children are 7,9, and 11 . They learn geography through history and map work that follows the history of the World Series. They also use puzzles and a few map apps as tools to reinforce the information.
Hi! My kids are 5, 4, and 1. Maps are central to what we do with our homeschool so I would LOVE to win this! We try to map everything we talk about and I have been looking for a great pinnable map. This looks perfect.
I have a 12 year old and we study Geography through a range of fiction and non-fiction books, wall maps and the globe. Would love to have some pin it maps!
Hi! My kids are 15, 12 & 10! We study history through literature and use maps along with our globe. We would love to use these maps! My sons love to study battle strategies all over the world! These would be perfect! Thank you so much for this offer!
My kids are 8 and 11. Last year was our first year homeschooling, and I don’t believe we focused enough on geography. This year I’m looking for ways to remedy that.
My kids are 8,7,6, almost 5 and 2. Sadly, I feel like we haven’t done a lot of geography work yet. But this year, we plan to do more with markable maps!…and maybe by winning this 🙂
I just shared this wonderful giveaway on Facebook – thanks!
My daughter is 3 and she is already very interested in geography! We study it by looking at the globe, several different maps and matching animals to their native continents. She loves it!
Just shared on Facebook! 🙂
Ages 16, 10, and 4. Currently using Knowledge Quest and just getting started with it.
My kids are 12 and 8. Both boys. We study geography using maps (none as cool as this set), through a history curriculum I put together, books (fiction and non fiction)…I try to work it into other areas of study.
My kids are 2 and 6. We are gearing up for our first year of homeschool after Labor Day. We bought curriculum through Timberdoodle so we have Evan-Moor Daily Geography Practice and a Scrunch Map. I LOVE geography so I’m very excited to share in the joy of my sons learning and exploring it, too!
My kids are 4 and 7. We LOVE maps. We use globes and large and small maps all the time to locate settings in the books we read and places our friends and family live. We talk about routes we’d take to go places. We place geography-based board games, too. I hadn’t heard of Pin it! Maps, but I’ll be sure to explore their materials now.
My kids ages : 13, 12, and 9. We have been studying geography through living books and wall maps, but after seeing this, using pin flags is a GENIUS idea!! It gives the control to my kids and becomes not only a visual learning modality but a tactile one as well!
Hello! My children are 8, 6, 4 and 2. We love geography! We use the globe, maps and a lot of interesting and beautiful books. Thank you for this exciting chance to win!
This would be an amazing tool for us! My son is 8 years old and we used to use puzzles and joined Little Passports for a year. Now we take virtual field trips and take geography quizzes online.
My kids are 10, 9, 6, and 1. We currently teach geography through the app Stack the Countries and Stack the States. 🙂
How great, we are just getting interested in geography over here! Thanks for the chance to win!!
My girls are 11 and 8. We learn geography through the map work in our history program.
My kid is almost 4 so geography for now is through a giant (giant!) map (of Quebec) on our dining-room wall and through traveling and relating our adventures to the map.

My child is 4 and we learn about geography using maps at parks and talking about our town and surrounding towns, state, and country.
My daughter is 7 years old. We currently draw/trace maps and review the names of the locations we are drawing/tracing. We also have geography puzzles.
We learn by songs, Montessori map puzzles, and other maps. My kids are 4, 2, and we have a newborn.
my kids are 6, 4 and 5 months. we are starting hs this year and was picking up geoboxes to start with. this would be grat
Olivia is 11, JJ is 6 months, and we study geography by looking at maps for where we travel and how to get there…it is time to be more deliberate.
My boys are 5 and 3. We are studying Geography very loosely this year. We just bought “This is the World” by Miroslav Sasek and ‘Maps” by Aleksandra Mizielinska.
I have girl age 7, boy age 6, boy age 4, girl age 2, and a baby boy. Currently we study geography by netflix and youtube videos about placea and culture. This looks great!
My Children are 6 and 2 and I have one on the way. We follow Classical Conversations and do our geography based on that. This is a great giveaway. Good luck everyone!
Shared on FB! Keeping my fingers crossed!
My kids are 8, 5, 2, 2, and 1. Currently we use our map to find places we read and learn about as well as to find places our loved ones are from.
My children are 12, 10, and 8. We study geography through reading living books and researching different places as they come up. We live with wall maps and love them! I’d be thrilled to have some new maps we can pin! I have very kinetic learners; this would be wonderful for them.
Ages 9 & 4. We’ve lived in Europe the last 4.5 years and the children have studied geography first hand by our wonderful travels.
great family activity for all ages!!!
My kids are 9 & 12. We have a globe and several maps hung around our home (including a large one by the kitchen table). We also have several geography-themed iPad apps. Although we haven’t been studying geography formally, we have frequent conversations about geography. I myself love maps, and my interest/enthusiasm seems to be rubbing off on my kids :). The “Pin it” products look like something our family would definitely enjoy.
My kiddos are 1 and 5…the 5yo is a very hands on learner so this would be great once we start exploring world geography.
We are homeschooling a 6 year old. We currently have to use the Atlas books at the library.
Holy smokes, that looks so amazing! I want, I want!!
My kids are 9, 7, 6, 3, and 1.
We are doing lots of geography this year since my kids LOVE maps. We’ve got a fun maps and geography workbook to learn how to read maps. We have a great encyclopedia we just got. We’ll be studying the different countries with Around the World in 180 Days and World Expedition. We’ve learned all the states in the US and are going to be memorizing the countries, their flags and capitols as well. I want to do some map tracing as well. We’ve used index cards with the state/country shape outlined, with the name on it and then place the cards around over and over to be able to recognize where they are in relation to oceans, rivers, and other states/countries. We did this especially with the 13 colonies and my kids know exactly where they are on the map and in relation to one another.

My children are 6 and 2.5. We are studying geography this year with a mix of Montessori methods and Charlotte Mason style literature. We are also cooking our way around the world this year!
I just recently started homeschooling my kids (ages 9,5 and 3). I’ve been looking for interactive ways to teach them about geography and this looks like it would be so fun!
The children I have left at home are 14, 15, and 18; all boys. They struggle with geography, although we use books, maps, and a globe. These Pin It! Maps, being a more hands on approach, would make a huge difference in how they learn the material.
My children are 9, 7, 6, and 3! We learn geography while reading fiction and nonfiction, coloring maps, looking at maps and globes, building puzzles, and playing apps.
Children are 14, 13, 5, & 3. We’ve been using “boring” workbooks and an atlas but something like this would be amazing…especially since this year we’ll be including the younger two in our studies. Hands on learning is a must as we begin to homeschool our 5 year old who is on the spectrum. He just learns better that way.

My kids are 13, 13, and 11. We are currently studying geography in the context of studying state history. We just did some map work today.
My kids are 10, 8, 7, 4, 4, 1. We study geography with maps and geography games. My kids would love to learn about the countries/continents with these maps!
My kids are 4, 3, and 2 months. We currently used a very old globe from when I was a kid, so we’re in search of something new to use 🙂
My children are ages 6, 3 and 5 months. We received a “Little Passports” subscription last year which has been a lot of fun! In addition we check out books from the library about different countries and try new recipes to go with the country we learn about.
With 7 homeschool graduate, I am still homeschooling 4 – 15, 14, 10 and 7. Presently, we study geography using a variety of texts, workbooks, games and the good old globe!
My kids are 4, 9, and 11. We haven’t incorporated much geography into our studies but this would be a fun way to start. 🙂
I have an only son, age 6. We study geography along with culture based on mission stories that come with our church Bible lessons. So we know where offerings go and where the stories come from. I’m looking into hands-on globes, maps and such to make it more real. So far we look at online maps, not so much 3-D interaction. Shared about this on FB. Thanks for the opportunity.
I have a 7 year old and newborn. We study geography through map workbooks and history. His love for geography started with stack the states game.
My children are 5,7,9 and we study geography haphazardly so I would love this!!
My kids are 13, 8, and 8. We use the globe, games and travel to learn geography! This set looks amazing! Thank you.
My kids are 14,12,9 and 6, we have a map on the wall and haven’t made to much of an effort to study geography :/
Just shared on Facebook. Thanks
My boys are 9 and 3. We’ve utilized a lot of free maps from across the United States but are looking to take our mapping skills global!
My kiddos are 8,11, and 12. This would be so cool! My little guy loves geography!
I have a 6 year old and 9 year old. We just started studying geography and put some large maps in our hallway. Not the most efficient as we can’t see them from where we work…but it is a start!
Shared on Facebook 🙂
By boys are 8 & 6. We need help with our geography studies!!! Currently we use student Atlas’s.
My daughter is 6. We currently use puzzle maps of Canada and the continents, Canadian province colouring pages with provincial bird, flower and flag, a globe and our atlas and encyclopaedias.
My kids are 11 and 9. Currently, we do country unit studies.
My children are 13 and 11 years old. We are new to homeschooling this year and are still planning/selecting our curriculum. At this point for Geography, I plan to use as many free resources as I can find and planned to purchase maps as I can afford it. We are purchasing Reading and Math curriculum and a laptop for each child so we need to keep the other costs low. This map set would be a great addition to our resources.
My kids are 9, 12, 14, 16, and 18. Geography has always fascinated my oldest and youngest boys in particular, and they have spent hours tracing large maps on the floor with extra-large tracing paper I try to keep on hand. We use “The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide” as curriculum, and my kids compete in a geography bee with our homeschool co-op, which is extra fun.
I have three kids ages 9, 10, and 14. We currently do not have a geography curriculum so this would be great!
My son will be 14 tomorrow. Our humble little classroom is practically wallpapered with maps. Geography is the ONLY subject he likes and will do on his own without prompting. I have had to hide geography workbooks from him so he doesn’t “devour” them too quickly. I try to tie EVERY subject that I can to geography so that he will pay attention. He would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!!!
I have an 8 and 10 year old. We make flags on index cards picking one country at a time. We color the flag on one side and read about it and then write something on the back of it about the country. We make tiny flags to tape onto the map on a smaller piece of index card. They really enjoy this. I read about the country while they color the flag.
I have two boys, 7 & 11 this year.
We used Galloping the Globe for a awhile and got a good sense of the the different continents and countries . Right now our geography is learnt through reading Mystery of History Vol 1 and now 2. We are Singaporeans, and have only travelled to Australia and Malayisa as a family. But it is always done with a first look at the map, and getting an idea of where we going and what we are doing where we travel. Thanks for this ????????
I homeschool my 11,8 and 3 year old and we look at the globe / atlas and use work books for geography but haven’t done very much of it lately but they would absolutely LOVE this. Hope we win ☺
My kids are 11, 9, 7, and 5. We love learning about geography through travel, but have fun with games when we’re at home. This looks awesome!
I have Celia who is 8, Mikey who is 7, Xavier is 4, and Lucia is 2. We study geography by playing the M & M game on our Classically Carholic Nemory maps. We also asked friends to send postcards from their homes or vacations this summer, mapped where they came from, and ate a food from the place!
Have shared your Giveaway on FB ???? thrilled that it is open to international readers because we are in Singapore. Blessings .
My daughter is 11 and we started using Which Way in the USA from Highlights and Little Passports. . we have wall size world and USA maps that we refer too. . .this looks like fun!
My kids are 8, 5, and 3. We read lots of fiction and non-fiction books from around the world.
We don’t do as much geography, though these would be a fun way to get started!
I have two boys, 7 & 4 yrs old. Right now, we use the Montessori maps. And, I’m about to get our continent boxes together to learn more about the cultural side of things!

We have a 2 year old, a 3 year old, and a 5 year old! We are working on the US states this year through riddles and memory games. We would love to add this awesome hands-on resource to our school room!!

My kids are 12, 10, 8, & 6. We typically work on geography depending on where we are studying in history. This looks so cool!! Thank you!!
My grandchildren are 7 and 4. They do geography with Montessori maps.
Kiddos are 11 and 12. We had used classical conversations in the past. We also have a geography coop that does unit studies on countries. We’re considering what our next step should be. This would be great for us.
This looks amazing! I homeschool my three children ages 14, 11, 8. We currently use lots of different kinds of atlases but have been looking for some good wall maps to use with pins. This would be perfect!
I have 5 kids-18, 14, 11,8,5. We study using songs, books, maps, online research, dry erase maps, a shower curtain map, and blow-up globes….whatever we can get our hands on to learn geography.
My kids are 13, 11, 9, and 6. Currently we use a globe and reference it when we come across new countries in our reading or documentaries. This year, especially, we are going to hit the 50 states!
3 kids ages 11, 8, and 15mos. My 8 year old is fascinated with our world map and globe and loves showing/teaching our 15mo old the continents and countries. We have been studying geography using the Literature approach to geography guide to the Holling C Holling Books .
I have a 7 year old lady and a 4 year old wee man 🙂 we used Nystrom last year and liked it but we probably need to find something different for this year.

My kids are 8, 6, 3, and 1. We have a world map and US map on the wall and refer to them whenever a place gets mentioned during our studies. We are learning to sing the continents song. My oldest gets the Top Secret Agent Adventures from Highlights once a month that teaches her about a country. And the oldest two do map work exercises from the Story of the World Activity book whenever we do a new chapter.
Oh my goodness! As a Montessori alumni, I love these so much!
My kids are 11, 9, 8, 6 and almost-2, and we currently study geography fairly organically—by looking at maps to see where the places in our books and conversations are located, putting together puzzles, etc. But I’d love to add this set to our system!

I have a 6 year old who is a hands on learner. That being said he has epilepsy and so our schooling is very slow but hands on. We have not started exploring geography yet as a subject and this would be an amazing tool to help him learn! He loves watching videos on different cultures and asks lots of questions about where places are but we dont have anything hands on to help him learn as yet.

Ages 6 and 3. We are currently studying geography through biome unit studies. Learning about Alaska, Canada, etc through Tundra research 🙂 Globes and wall maps.

I shared on Facebook. Thanks so much for this great giveaway!
My kids are 12, 10, and 6. We use a globe and some laminated maps that came with our curriculum. We usually mark different cities or countries as we read about them. We also play geography games on the computer. What an amazing resource to study geography!
My 10 year old twins learn geography with a globe and the maps that come in our history studies.
Shared on FB too????
My daughter is 8 and my son is 15. My son is mildly autistic and is obsessed with geography, especially national flags. Obviously both of my kids would benefit from this but my son would absolutely LOVE it! Right now we use wall maps, library travel books, and Google Earth.
I homeschool our six year old and use globes and the wall map.
We have a 3 year old and 6 year old; we’ve been using library books on countries and cultures, old national geographic magazines, jigsaw map, google map and a globe!
Hi. My kids are 8,6,5,2 and 4 months! We love geography and study it using games such as “Flag Frenzy” and “geo cards”. This year we plan on using “trail guide to world geography” My kids love looking at maps and doing world puzzles.
Entered my email wrong the first time!

My girls are 6,11, and 15. We’d love the hands-on approach to geography.
My daughter is 7 and my son is 5. My daughter loves Geography and wants to be a cartographer when she grows up! We use a globe mostly, and any activity books we can get our hands on. This would be an amazing tool for us and my daughter would be ecstatic! Shared on FB!
Holy cow, what an awesome giveaway! My kids are 6 and 9 and we use globes, children’s atlases, and probably way too much time playing “Stack the States” and “Stack the Countries.” 🙂
How old are your kids, and how do you currently study geography in your homeschool? –
My kids are 16, 15, 11.5, 9, 7, and nearly 5. Yes, we do currently study geography! The 9 and 7yo studied a full world geography course last year, and they’ll do some focused United States geography this year. The 11.5 and 15yo will study world geography this year. “The baby” will start with Legends and Leagues next school year for first grade.
My kids are 8 and 10. We keep track of many things we encounter on reproducible maps. We will track Santa’s progress through NORAD, the mushers in the Iditarod, the locations of the books we read, events covered by CNN Student news; you name it, we’ve probably tracked it or annotated it for at least a little bit. Any chance to break out a map or globe is a good reason to deviate from other plans I made 🙂
My kid is 6 and we currently use printouts and a blow up globe to teach geography.
Our kids are 8 and 3 and we study geography by traveling, looking at the globe, and google maps.
Our boys are ages six and eight. We’re Montessori homeschoolers, and first-year homeschoolers too, and I was actually looking over the Pin-It Maps program the other day. Would love to win it! Currently, we’re starting with wall maps and a globe we already have. I was hoping to incorporate this program into our learning. Thanks!
My kids are 8, 6, and 1. We have mostly focused on local geography through exploration, mapping, geocaching, and orienteering. We have global maps and an atlas but this set seems wonderfully interactive in a way that regular globes and maps aren’t.
My daughter is five and we use an interactive Globe and wall maps.
My children are 9, 8, 5, and 1.
We use a wall map, various mapping books, globes, and a few board games:)
My children are 6, 4 & 2. We currently have a world map under the glass top of our kitchen table. Every time we read a story, or study some event in history in our lessons, we get out a dry erase marker, outline the country, a possible travel route and find a few facts about the area. We also have family and friends that are missionaries, as well as being involved in several other world missions organizations. It give us LOTS of opportunity to learn! In this day and age, geography shouldn’t need to be taught separately from history lessons, or a general keeping up to date on current events. Just sit down and answer your curious littles’ questions! You’d be amazed what they learn!
My kids are 13, 7 & 5. We use the geography book that came with our history curriculum. We also use games and Google maps.
Hi, my children are 17,15 & 4. We learn geography by using map puzzles & studying traditional food around the globe. We also do map reading at various parks & while driving via google maps.
My son is seven and we have been traveling a lot this summer and working through road maps. From Alaska to California.
I have 3, 14, 11, and 7 that are currently homeschooling. I was personally homeschooled as well. We study geography by talking about people who have already visited there! 🙂 Also we study geography with some mapwork, it drags along though. 🙂
We use print out maps of areas our kids are interested in. We also use our world map, globe, and Google earth to explore.
I shared it on fb
I shared a link to this giveaway on FB and posted another link to Pin It! Maps in the comments for the giveaway post. Thanks for the extra entry!!
My kids are 13, 12, 8 & 6. We study geography with our globe and by coloring and labeling maps. We also try to find videos about the area we are covering as well as historical fiction novels.
I shared the giveaway and a pin it! maps post on fb.
We have kids ages 14, 12, 10, 5, and 18 months. We usually study geography along with our history, but this year we’re using the Trail Guide to World Geography for something different. We also adore Google Earth and any and all atlases!
Cellista’s latest post: 2015/2016 School Plans
12 & 13. Just starting to homeschool next year and have not decided on what we are going to use although I have used material from Knowledge Quest.
My two sons are 4 and 7. We have a workbook, a globe and a world map. Our geography studies have not yet been very extensive, but much more is planned or the coming year.
My children are 4 and 6, currently we ‘live’ geography, we have been living in South Africa and finding out all we can about the country and people for 6 years, we are now in a transition of moving home to Scotland, which is actually a foreign country to the kids, so they are learning more and more each day about the Scottish countryside and people.
I have a 10yo boy, 8yo girl, 6yo boy, 3yo boy and 1yo girl. We don’t have a geography curriculum, but we have a wall with a world map and US map hanging on it and ask the kids “find it” questions. I’d love to have this resource!
We use map books and use history of the world. We also use 5 in a row and research all the places we read about in the book selection:-) my kids are 4,7, and 9.
Hi there, my children are 7 and 4 years old. We don’t “do geography” we have topics chosen by the children and incorporate geography anyway we can that is creative. Currently we are reading Around the World in 80 days (a children’s version of the original) and following the journey by making passports, stamps and tickets to mark the journey as we read as well as looking up all the destinations on our globe and atlas and drawing out the route on a map. For local geography – we explore and visit all the interesting sites we can manage.
I have a 12 and 10 year old. We drill geography using paper maps. My son will practice drawing and labeling maps this year.
