Comment GEOTERMS for the link to my Geography Terms Review Activity!
 
Students are placed into groups of three and given a set of matching cards. They must work together to match the vocabulary term, picture, and definition of important geographic vocabulary terms. Once students have completed the matching cards, they move on to the Vocabulary Chart where they fill in the blanks with the correct definition for each term.
 
To make the lesson even more engaging, students are given different Geographic Application maps to identify and label geographic terms independently before sharing with their group. This lesson plan is a great way to review geography concepts with your students in a fun and interactive way.
