Hands-on geography - what resources make it stick?

Globe in the centre of the room. Every book, news item, recipe - find it on the globe. Geography becomes context for everything else.

Scratch-off world map on the wall. Each country they study gets scratched. Incredibly motivating.

Cook one meal from each country you study. Grocery geography. The flavours create a sensory memory that survives long after the textbook closes.

Hiking apps let you study terrain before visiting. When you arrive you have already walked the map in your imagination.
