 Geography is a hard subject for most students to  grasp; it can be tedious, and boring. Here are some suggestions to bring excitement to the students in your classroom.

1. Begin with drawing a simple plan of the classroom, including cupboards, blackboard, desks, chairs etc. The children color the plan using the colors from a physical map. For exampke, green for floor level, yellow for desks and chairs, and brown for the highest objects in the room.

2. Try an interactive globe for the classroom to use in small groups! This globe quizes students and provides an SmartPen, which the students can use to point out their answers on the globe.

3. Wonder World Map offers children a hands-on way to explore their world. It becomes an interactive learning station as children fill it with the 68 beautifully detailed felt animals, landmarks, vehicles, and continent, country and geography labels.

4. GeoRiddler turns your classroom computer into a realistic game show where up to three children can play at once exploring different environments, learning, and having fun.
