    geography extension activities

    Hi, everybody, you all rock.

    Anyway, I am a new geography teacher. Sometimes I finish my lesson and have five minutes left at the end of class...and I hate having my students sit around and do nothing.

    Could anyone recommend any simple, quick extension activities for geography/social studies teachers?

    Btw, I teacher 9th grade.

    Thank you!

    I remember my global studies teacher using the Animaniacs world song. It's a little out dated but it is still catchy. First she played it through and just let the kids listen to it. The next time they had to start coping down the countries in the song. Then they had to start signing along. Basically by a certain point each student had to have it memorized. I was a senior when she started this with the younger class but I still love the song and have the first part memorized to this day.
