- Distance Measurement: Using a ruler, Harry can measure the distance between two countries on the map to understand their relative locations.
Talking Points
- Introduction to World Map: "A world map shows us all the countries and continents on Earth. It helps us understand where different places are located."
- Identifying Countries: "Each country on the map has a different color or outline. By coloring them, we can recognize and remember them better."
- Capital Cities: "Countries have capital cities which are like their 'headquarters'. Matching them to the countries helps us learn more about each place."
- Understanding Distance: "Measuring distances between countries helps us see how far or close they are to each other. It's like connecting the dots on a big puzzle."
