To construct puzzle pieces for a map, place oaktag on the wall. Cut out, spray paint, and laminate each piece. Students found it easier to associate different places with different colored pieces. Accompanying labels can be written, cut, and laminated. Place map on an open space in the room.
Students sit around the map.
Randomly, pass out puzzle pieces and labels to students. As each place is discussed, puzzle piece and label are placed on the map. Songs can be sung as you play the game. Here I am. Here I am.
