Map Skills Mapping - Design Your Own Amusement Park
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Review the basics of mapping with this fun and engaging activity! Using map skills learned in class, students must design a map of their own amusement park and include mapping elements such as scale, a legend, symbols, and more! They must also write about and explain their "best" or most amazing ride.
This activity has always been one of my students' favorite projects! It's a fun and unique way to wrap up a mapping unit or a fun project for social studies!
I encourage the students to pick a theme for their park - I've had Rock N' Roll Parks, Vampire Parks, Video Games, and more! A fun and unique way to finish a Geography or Mapping Unit!
Please note that although you can create a TpT Digital Activity with this resource, the map is meant to be completed on paper.
