Map Challenge Australia - Fun Geography of Oceania Activities - Print & Digital

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Challenge students to solve clues about Australia’s geography to label and create maps of the continent. The easy-to-follow instructions make these geography activities a fun way to integrate mapping into your curriculum. Say goodbye to bored students simply copying from textbooks to label maps! Everything you need is included!

 

First, students create a map of Australia using only absolute & relative location clues – NO reference maps are needed! Then, they examine various physical and political maps to solve clues about Oceania’s geography. Finally, a drag-and-drop challenge assesses their learning of the countries, landforms, and bodies of water located on the continent.
