INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHY

Nikki has been expressing some interest in geography these days. Since he has this atlas of the world, I thought it would be nice to start introducing him to some of the well-known countries. A month ago, he asked me to buy this globe and he loves looking for the countries there. He already knows Mexico, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, China, India, Philippines, New Zealand, Africa and some others. I thought it would nice to slowly introduce him to the continents. I would ask him, "Where is the Eiffel Tower?" And he would reply, "In France" and I would continue, "Where is France?" And he would say, "In Europe." At least when we do it this way, he will be familiar with the continents and then later on, we'll study it in full detail.
