Photographic treasure hunt

I got the inspiration for this treasure hunt from a blog I read* ages ago, and this is my version of it. This geography activity develops map skills and observation. You do need some time to set it up, but it can be adapted to any age or skill level. The purpose of the activity is [...]

Make a trading card game

The first is from Makebeliefscomix. This one is aimed specifically at children, and you can print or email [...]
