Elementary Continent Mat- is a smaller version of the Continent mat with an impression of latitude and longitudinal lines. A game in which the objective is to land on every continent by moving your vehicle according to the cardinal directions rolled on dice is played on the grid. Three part cards explore the continents and oceans with descriptions of relative location on the back. Land and Water Forms of the World cards explore specific geographical features by name on each of the continents. As if looking at a puzzle piece, children look at the illustrated feature on the card and place the label on the corresponding location on the mat. Command cards explore the continents with more directional work as well as references to the land and water forms. (5 to 9 years)
