Description
This elementary geography lesson introduces students to wayfinding—the skill of navigating and understanding location in space. Students explore how people find their way using maps, landmarks, directions, and environmental clues. Through hands-on activities, discussion, and simple navigation tasks, learners practice identifying directions, interpreting visual cues, and describing routes. The lesson builds spatial awareness and problem-solving skills, helping students connect navigation concepts to real-world movement and everyday experiences.
