Obstacle Course Part 3: The Map

The goal of this game is to turn a 3-D obstacle course into a 2-D map of the course on paper. You may use any objects of your choice. When children create their own maps, they are representing their 3-D worlds in 2-D pictures. This not only introduces them to math skills but social studies skills as well!

What's the math in this game?

Mapmaking is a fun skill for preschoolers to practice! Help children learn what maps are by pointing out the maps at bus stops, in stores, and in parks. When children create their own maps, they are representing their 3-D worlds in 2-D pictures.
