How to Play Spin the Globe 🌎
- Grab a Globe (or use a map if you don’t have one handy). If you have a globe that spins, even better!
- Make a Spinner: Use your finger to spin the globe, or close your eyes and place your finger randomly on the map. Let it stop where it will!
Where Did You Land?
Fun Facts to Look Out For 🎉
Every place has something amazing about it. Here are some fun things to look for with each spin:
- Food: Did you know people in Italy make over 300 types of pasta? Or that Brazilians love açaí berries?
- Landmarks: Some places have super cool landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower in France or the Pyramids in Egypt!
- Wild Weather: In some places, it’s snowy almost all year, like Antarctica, and others stay warm year-round, like tropical islands.
- Animals: Australia is the only place with wild kangaroos hopping around, and Japan has adorable red pandas.
Tips for Going “Around the World”
If you keep spinning the globe, you’ll end up visiting every continent (there are seven!). You could even try to “visit” all the continents in one afternoon! And who knows—you might even discover a new favorite country. So keep spinning, exploring, and learning something new with each stop!
Challenge Time!
Ready for an extra challenge? Here are some ways to make it interesting:
- Fastest Passport Filler: Set a timer and see how many countries you can “visit” in 10 minutes, writing down one fun fact for each place.
- Alphabet Hunt: Try to visit countries in alphabetical order. Can you get from A (Australia) to Z (Zambia)?
- Flag Collector: Try to draw each country’s flag as you land there. By the end, you’ll have a collection of colorful flags from around the world!
