In this article, you will find out how to use Montessori Geography lessons to teach children about world landmarks and monuments.

There are many ways to teach Geography for children to learn about their world.

Yes, most of the time you will need maps, but not always.

There are many other hands on activities with Montessori materials for this subject.

See, I have shown you how you can teach children about many parts of Geography, not just maps.

You can use puzzle maps, land and water forms, continent boxes, flags of the world and more.

In this article, you will find out how to use Montessori Geography lessons to teach children about world landmarks and monuments.

When you are looking for Montessori Geography activities, you might be wondering which way to go.

Like I said, you can go with puzzle maps.

As you can clearly see above, they are beautiful and very useful, but they take up a lot of space.

We have the cabinet shelf made for these and all 8 puzzle maps (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, the United States and the World).

If you have limited space, you might want to think this through.

You can come up with ways to get the right materials to teach Geography, monuments, landmarks, flags and more without breaking the bank and without them taking up too much room in Your Montessori environment.

While Montessori schools tend to have a lot more room than those doing Montessori at home, they are also starting to think about ways to have more materials without making the classroom look or feel crowded or cluttered.

The lovely thing is that in Montessori education, you can be more open-minded and use Montessori inspired materials without compromising teaching kids the Montessori way.

In this article, you will find out how to use Montessori Geography lessons to teach children about world landmarks and monuments.

Montessori Geography Materials

When you go about showing children the big picture of what the world is like, it is also fun and important to teach children about popular monuments and landmarks in different continents and, for that matter, in different parts of the world.

As much as we wold love to take children to the physical Geography places, it is mostly impossible, so we do the next best thing.

We show children these monuments and landmarks in the way of beautiful, attractive and colorful photos.

This can be done in the way of 3-part cards, of course!

But why stop there?

In this article, you will find out how to use Montessori Geography lessons to teach children about world landmarks and monuments.

We can also use lovely landmark and monument mini replicas, like the ones you see in the photos in this article as well as below.

So, when you get the lesson plan and the printable 3-part cards below, be sure to consider getting the mini replicas as well.

This is because they fit in perfectly with the things I mentioned at the beginning.

They don’t take up a lot of room, they are attractive and they go well with the Montessori way.

In fact, we keep ours in their respective continent boxes and take them out whenever we are needing them for this particular activity.
