Geography (the study of the world) is so much more than textbooks flung open to the geopolitical maps of our present year. It’s more than a brief summary of a group of people in a faraway land.

Geography, the study of the world, is a voyage to a person. It’s an adventure to a place. Surely we cannot get there by plane, car, or boat every single time.

Their knowledge of geography far surpasses my own at this point, and it’s been (almost) entirely their own doing! Interest based learning for the win, my friends. My role has not been to sit them down and “teach” them anything but instead to provide resources to encourage their interest and expand their knowledge; and those ideas for teaching geography are what...

I’ve seen the striking power of what Charlotte Mason calls “masterly inactivity” – in providing some books, resources or materials and then quietly standing back to observe how the children use them. Even if your children are not map-crazy the way that mine are, maybe you could find some of these ideas helpful to introduce or reinforce the subject.
