Jigsaw Map PuzzleYounger kids really enjoy puzzles. Did you know the earliest known jigsaw puzzle was done of maps? Students can make their own puzzles and learn geography while doing so. To make a jigsaw map, students color an outline map of a continent, using different colors for each country. Cover with contact paper. Cut into different shapes or cut along country borders. Once the puzzle is made let students put it together. They can time themselves to gauge progress. Store puzzle pieces in zip lock bags or page protector sleeves. Option: Make a large puzzle with card stock or make a large map of a continent by enlarging in a copier. Tape all the pieces together, color, attach to poster board, cover with contact paper, and cut out. This project was taken from Trail Guide to World Geography.
