Teachers can provide worksheets where students must fill in the information about the state of Georgia and the regions within the state. Worksheets might ask for information such as what type of habitats are in Georgia, what type of animals live in the various habitats and what regions are in the state. Students should have access to books or handouts to obtain the information.
Teachers can break down the state regions on a large map into various edible treats for the students. For example, the Appalachian mountains might consist of a cake or cookies piled on top of each other while the ocean is made of blue or green Jello. The teacher brings in the foods, or asks for students to volunteer to bring in the foods, and the class puts together a map of Georgia according to the regions using the foods. When all of the students in class can identify the regions and give information about the regions, the students get to eat the map.
Teachers can use a quiz show format to create a quiz show game for students. The teacher makes up a point system, such as 100 points for row one, 200 for the second row and going up by increments of 100 to five or six rows. The topics might include regions, habitats, animals and Georgia state facts. Make one topic row "mystery" questions that can take information from any area. The students are broken up into three groups or teams and then the game starts. Students select an area, the teacher reads the question and gives any answer options if available or leaves the question open ended as preferred. The students discuss the question and the first group to raise their hand or ring a bell is called on. If they get the answer correct, they win the points. If they get the answer wrong, the teacher moves onto the next team until a team gets the answer correct. The team with the most points at the end wins.
Among the available options for a teacher to use as a tool is a map or atlas. The teacher can give students a map and show where the regions differ according to map symbols. For example, teachers might show how mountains appear on a map when compared to the ocean. The teacher then assigns the students to fill in a blank map of Georgia so the different regions are broken up using the map or atlas as a guide. The students can color in the different regions in various colors or use symbols as representation.
