Here is an explanation of how my daughter used World Animal Cards to reinforce her understanding of world geography:

As I mentioned on Friday, ED has been working on her world geography. She has spent a couple of weeks going over the 7 continents again and working with some Montessori 3-part cards I made for her.  They are probably available elsewhere, but I wanted both small cards to place on each continent and some larger ones so she could work on word-matching.

As she sang the 7-continents song (that I mentioned on Friday), she looked at the animal cards for each continent and placed them on the proper continent. Come see our 7 Continents Song you-tube video over at this post... the kids sang through the the song to help someone (overseas) learn the tune!

She did this with a large world map we have:

Another day, she identified and set out the satellite photos we have of the continents. These continent cards are available free at ETC Montessori (these are no longer available).

Once she was pretty familiar with the animals on each continent, I brought out the Montessori 3-part cards.  I printed out two sets of each and cut out the animals and word labels. She had to match them to the picture.

At the end of the week, I challenged her to match the word to the picture (without the control card)!

If you are interested, you can print out your own world animal cards.  They come both as large cards and as smaller versions of the same cards. I’ve been doing this activity with the kids since they were about 3 years old. You will find the  3-Part Montessori Cards — Animals of the 7 Continents at this post. (Note: these are now $2.00)

Montessori3PartCards-WorldAnimalsAfter I made this post, someone overseas asked me if I could teach them the 7-continents song.  The kids made a little video to show how we used these cards.  Here’s the post — Kids Sing the 7 Continents Song. Or click on the picture which will take you to the post where the video is located:
