What they are actually learning.

Your child maps their own neighbourhood by walking it and drawing it. Turning a street they know into an accurate flat drawing is harder than it sounds. Then comes the better question: why is it arranged this way and not some other way.

  • Observation: Noticing buildings, streets, landmarks, patterns and people they normally walk past
  • Spatial Thinking: Translating a real three-dimensional place into a two-dimensional map
  • Geography: Reading terrain, landmarks and human-made features, and how they connect
  • Critical Thinking: Asking why the place is arranged the way it is
  • Communication: Explaining the map through labels, a legend and written description
Why it matters

Travel can be a vacation or it can be a curriculum. The difference is whether you ask the right questions. These activities turn any trip into something they will carry into adulthood.
