Using Playground Maps for Movement
Colvin, A. Vonnie
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v29 n3 p10-15 2016
Many schools now decorate their outside hard surface areas with maps. These maps provide color and excitement to a playground and are a terrific teaching tool for geography. But these maps can easily be integrated into physical education as well to promote both physical activity as well as knowledge of geography. The purpose of this article is to provide ideas that will assist both the elementary physical educator during class time and the elementary classroom teacher during outside activity time to integrate movement with geography.
