Give your child the world by giving her a globe, a map, or a kids’ atlas to help her learn geography. Young children will have fun with a beach ball globe. Older students can turn to more detailed maps as they learn about different countries in social studies and history, and when they begin learning stats and theri capitals. Start by showing your children where family members live,   where their favorite zoo animals come from, and any other local-global relationships you can think of.
