Geography was always my favourite subject in school. Colouring the maps, marking the various countries, the globe had always fascinated me. And as a student, I used to wonder how great it would be if one could travel to all places and witness everything we learned for real! As a parent, am not too sure how that travel dream of mine will shape up, but am sure I can enjoy teaching my child geography the fun way it was meant to be! Easy activities to put your kids on the world map, literally!
