Galloping the Globe

This K-4th grade geography-based unit study curriculum can be used from one to three years and is an excellent reference resource as well. Organized by continent and incorporating the student notebook approach, it integrates these eight categories of learning activities:

Each lesson is designed to engage the children's hearts and minds through variety and interaction. Activities include word searches, mazes, puzzles, maps, and more. Keeping the notebook serves to encourage creativity as students become acquainted with producing a lasting creation while experiencing hands-on learning. This is a wonderful introduction to world geography using a tried and true method of learning. Most of the literature needed should be available at your local library, but a few resources are recommended for purchase if you plan to complete most of the suggested activities. (Considering God's Creation is the core of the science lessons, for instance.)

The second edition of this book received new page numbering and adjustments to the layout, as well as an alteration to the introduction and some changes to various activities and reference materials.
