Welcome to Our Adventure: Exploring the United States!

Introduction

Hello, young explorers! 🌟 Today, we're going to embark on a fun journey across the United States. Are you ready to discover amazing facts, learn new words, and meet interesting people? Let’s get started!

The Magic Map

What You Need:

• A blank piece of paper
• Colored pencils or markers
• A globe or a printed map of the United States

Activity: Create Your Own Map!

1. Draw the United States: On your paper, try to draw the shape of the United States. It doesn't have to be perfect! Just have fun with it.

2. Add Key Locations:

   • Use the globe or map to find and mark important places like:
     • New York City (the Big Apple)
     • Washington, D.C. (the capital)
     • Los Angeles (the City of Angels)
     • Chicago (the Windy City)

3. Color It In: Once you’ve drawn your map and added the locations, color in different states. Each state can be a different color!

Sharing Time

After you've completed your map, we will gather in small groups. You'll have the chance to share one interesting fact about the place you chose to highlight on your map. Don’t forget to practice your English by using complete sentences! Here’s how you can start:

• "I chose New York City. It is famous for the Statue of Liberty."

Wrap-Up

To conclude our lesson, we’ll have a fun quiz game where we will test each other on some of the facts we learned today. Grab your colored pencils and let’s uncover the wonders of the United States together! 🌎✨

Remember:

Everyone’s map will be different, just like every explorer’s journey. Let's celebrate our diversity and curiosity as we learn about our great country!
