We've done individual maps of Israel, Turkey and Egypt so far. I think it is an EXCELLENT way to do individual countries!! I use the map drills for continents at a time. So far with the map drills we've covered USA, Europe and will begin Africa soon (as we're reading David Livingstone) :)<br /><br />The boys seem to like it because it is SHORT! Only takes about 10 minutes and little by little they really start to get it! ;)amy in peruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514765606705513864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-25469411358476457742010-10-03T16:12:20.798-07:002010-10-03T16:12:20.798-07:00This was a very interesting and practical post.

Not by tracing, but by looking at them closely and drawing them. It makes them pay more attention to the maps as well. This looks like a good additional way for them to learn maps, however. Thanks!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09217282962233011656noreply@blogger.com
