Tips For Using Map Printables
This map of South America free printable is super easy to download and print at home. It is designed for Letter-sized paper but you can simply print to fit no matter what paper size you use. The most straightforward use of map printables for learning is to use the labelled version for studying and the blank version to fill in and test your knowledge. However, there are more ways to use printable maps that is both fun and educational.
Games and Time Challenges
When it comes to learning, I always try to game-ify the activity to make it fun! Having to learn new names and memorize maps might be a bit boring at first, but if you present it as a challenge or game time, your kids will be much more willing.
Time challenges are a great way to revisit your geography learning each day over the course of a week or more. Perhaps the goal is to be able to fill in the blank map in less than 5 minutes. With digital printables you can print out multiple copies for quiz time whenever needed. If you have siblings learning together, see who can finish first!
I also like to weave in what we have learned earlier in the day during everyday life routines. When preparing dinner I might ask my kids if they remember where Chile resides on the map. Or while we put away toys I might ask them to name the countries in South America that they remember. Your kids will be learning all day without even realizing it.
Wall Art Decorations
Besides geography learning with maps, remember that digital printables make instant wall art. You can print the maps to use as-is for decoration or consider printing on colored paper. I often like to print on kraft paper that is easily accessible. The kraft paper really helps elevate the black and white map drawing to look very cool for decor!
You can also have your kids color, paint and decorate a map printable for framing. There are many options available for decoration from using crayons to glitter. Use whatever materials you might already have at home and make it a fun art session.
Additional Research & Activity
Finally, you can expand your learning beyond geography by choosing a topic of interest to investigate with your kids related to the country of South America. For example, you can investigate brazil nuts and learn a few interesting facts about them and how they come from that region of the world. You can even buy them to eat!
Or you can focus on a specific region like the Amazon rainforest or an animal like the capybara that comes from South America. I usually look for a food item or an animal of interest because my kids are always curious about those subjects. This is a great way to start learning with geography but then branch off into specifics, learning more about the culture and new and different things across the globe.
