Create a Torn World Map Project - FUN Continents and Oceans PBL - Print

Shipping calculated at checkout.

This FUN activity challenges your class to create torn world maps! The project is engaging for students, and the guided format is easy for you to use! Everything you need is included!

 

Challenge students to create a world map using only two sheets of paper! They must tear out the shapes of each continent – drawing outlines or using scissors is not allowed! Then, they label the continents, oceans, and lines on a globe to complete their world maps. This Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity helps students remember the continents and oceans by focusing on details like shape, location, and scale. The goal is not to create a perfect replica but to enhance their understanding of geography. A fill-in rubric sets clear expectations and makes grading easy! Finished torn world maps make great examples of student work for your classroom and hallway displays!
