Geographic Garble

In Social Studies class we looked at boxes with words, letters, and pictures that are clues to the names of geographical places. We then had to look at each box and determine what geographical place it is depicting. After we went through all 20 of the garbles, we got into groups of three and had to come up with four gargles that all connected to one bigger idea.














Kaylee, Alyssia, and I started to think about what we wanted our bigger idea to be. Alyssia came up with the idea of National Monuments. We decided to create garbles of Big Ben, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Great Wall of China, and Niagara Falls. Once everyone created their garbles, we went around the room and looked at everyone else's and had to guess what their bigger idea was. Some of them were easier than others. When the group got to our garble, they were able to get it very easily.

I think that this is a fun, exciting way to get students to learn more about different geographical locations. I think after learning about a state, you could easily develop garbles over cities within that specific state.
