Materials and Prep

Materials: World map or globe

Prep: None

Activities

• 1. Around the World: Use the world map or globe to identify different continents and countries. Discuss how planes can take you to these places.
• 2. Destination Planning: Let's pretend you are going on a plane trip. Pick a country on the map and talk about what you would do there.
• 3. Paper Plane Fun: Fold a paper plane together and see how far it can fly. Discuss how real planes work similarly.

Talking Points

• Planes can take us to different countries: "Planes are like magic carpets that can fly us to faraway lands like a fairy tale!"
• Continents are big pieces of land: "Continents are like giant puzzle pieces that make up our Earth. Each one is special and different."
• We need maps to know where we are going: "Maps are like treasure maps that show us the way to our adventures. X marks the spot!"
• Paper planes and real planes both fly: "Paper planes are like baby planes learning to fly. Real planes are like grown-up planes that take us on big adventures!"
