CONTINENT FUN !
Right after Lil Muallimah finished coloring her World map, (see post here) we went upstairs to turn it into something cooler, our very own............
CONTINENT TWISTER
We have played this way before two with the older ones, but those printed maps were played on and thrown after the wear and tear. This time I thought of sticking it onto a bristol board. Picking through our bristol boards in our stationary closet, I thought it would be much cooler if I stuck it onto blue bristol board. Now that way I wouldn`t have to colour in the continents, Phew! BUT......that meant I would have to cut around the continents. Sigh..... which I did but not around the smaller island parts.
I even made Antarctica from the left over cut out which was missing in the original map as Lil Muallimah pointed out.
Then I laminated it with shelf liner...
and we were all ready to play
Right foot Asia , left foot North America
Right foot Africa , left foot South America.........
.....and Right hand Asia , left hand North America
Right foot Asia , left foot North America
Here she was giggling and asking me... could you please make it simpler now ! .....because she was getting all criss crossed ... hehe

What a fun way to reinforce continents! Thanks for sharing links to your other continent activities, too! I'm so glad you link up with Montessori Monday. I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page and pinned it to my Kids' Geography Activities Board at http://pinterest.com/debchitwood/kids-geography-activities/
It sure is fun... especially because their's a sense of ownership too, cause she colored it all by herself :)Thanks for letting me now about pinning it and glad to know your liked the posts :)
