Teaching Tools for Geography Awareness Week

Geography Awareness Week is November 11-15 – the perfect time to teach kids why geography matters.

Help students understand the importance of geography in their everyday lives with our Statistics in Schools resources.

For elementary school, check out our Scavenger Hunt: Where is Gina the Geographer? activity. Students will have the opportunity to participate in an online scavenger hunt based on a story that a geographer named Gina, who loves to travel, has escaped to an undisclosed location. Students must follow a series of clues to help bring her back to the school.
