|   | With summer winding down and the school year starting up, it's time to think about bringing rich, unforgettable experiences to your students. A Giant Traveling Map delivers engaging and impact-making opportunities for your class and school community. Each map is an interactive, content-rich, and fun experience, bringing geography and many social studies and science topics to life. The map arrives at your school, unrolls on the gymnasium floor, and comes complete with grade-banded activities, props, photo and data cards, and other educational resources.
Giant Traveling Maps of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and the Pacific Ocean are available for loan during the 2012–2013 school year. Book now to secure the map and dates that work best for you!
