A Child's Geography

Navigation

"A Child's Geography is exactly what the homeschooling world has been needing to teach geography, using a living book approach that draws in children, creating mind pictures that feed their soul and delight their imagination while conveying academic knowledge. I highly recommend this for geography."

Jeannie Fulbright, Apologia's Elementary Science Series

_{Explore the Holy Land - V. 2}

I believe that my favorite thing about Explore the Holy Land is the respectful way the people of each country are treated. They are presented as beautiful, and as made in God's image. A Child's Geography really IS the best geography guidebook I've seen for the K-6th grade set. (And I've seen a lot over 10 years of homeschooling!)
Holly Johnson, homeschooling mother of 7

I have purchased your books, looked through your website thoroughly, and think that the books are wonderful! I am always looking for truly excellent, Christ-centered materials. I appreciate the niche you are filling as I have had a hard time finding a Christian, living-book, geography "text" to use!

"This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have tried [two other geography curriculums] but honestly, neither works well with our living book studies. I find them hard to navigate and the children find them dry. I think A Child's Geography is wonderful and I consider it a treasure."

Cindy McCarthy, homeschooling mother of 9

Explore His Earth - V.1

"...if you have children who love read-alouds and hands-on activities, I simply cannot recommend this book enough. I think what I love best is how God-centered it is. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful..."

Molly Aley, homeschooling mother of 5

Ann's Holy Experience

Your luggage for each adventuresome chapter of ACG: Explore the Holy Land includes:

Field Notes

At the end of each chapter section we have offered narration prompts in the form of “Field Notes”. Just like modern day explorers, we ask the child to talk into an imaginary recorder and tell of his or her discoveries. We have offered the prompts to stimulate their memories – but these are not mandatory! Let your child talk about what captured his or her imagination. You may be surprised at what they’ve learned!

Travel Logs

Every good explorer keeps a record of his journey. After each chapter, your child will be asked to draw a map of the country we have been studying and label important cities and regions, along with some of the sights we’ve seen along the way. Finally, they will write a short entry of their own observations. A three-ring binder and plastic sleeves may be appropriate for storing maps and log entries or you may want to get creative and make your own authentic travel logs to record your journey!

Bringing it Home: Simple Ideas to Bring the World to Your Door

Each country offers a world of culture for us to explore. We have tried to offer a taste of all these lands by sharing music, simple art projects, suggested reading lists, poetry and recipes that allow you to bring each country into your own home. All of these activities are optional. We have tried to keep these activities as simple as possible, thus making them accessible for busy homeschooling families.

Many of the activities are found on-line. All the links specified in the text can be found at our website for your convenience: achildsgeography.com

Prayer Walk

Our deepest desire in writing a Christ-centered geography is to help young children develop a love for each of the countries and cultures we study. Christ died for all these peoples. We hope you will join us at the end of each country study as we pray for the beautiful peoples God has created across the world. Each Prayer Walk is written as a prayer and includes specific requests for that particular country. You may want to pray along with us at the end of each of your lessons.
