This fun activity involves children using Google Earth to discover various famous landmarks from around the world. Examples include a mixture of man-made structures such as The Taj Mahal, and natural landmarks such as Ayre’s Rock.
Children can ether type or copy the coordinates into Google Earth and then easily find the monument. Older students could even try to manually find the coordinates. Once there, they can explore the landmark following which they should record its name and country in the table.
This could either work as an individual competition - see who can find all the places in the quickest time. Or it could be done as a collective effort - the whole class working to find the different places before the time runs out.
It works as a great follow-up lesson to mapping and use of coordinates or even just as an introduction to Google Earth or an introduction to famous human and physical geographic landmarks.
