Program Information
Introduce cartography by hosting an all-ages map-making event! Show maps of real and fictional worlds, then let participants create their own. You could have them map their bedrooms, houses, neighborhoods, or towns, or remake a map from a book or movie. Show old maps that depict sea monsters and uncharted areas, and encourage map-makers to add their own fantastical elements to give them a historical nautical feel. See Resources for map elements, backdrops, and coloring sheets. Don’t forget to discuss what a map key is and why it’s important! A fun all-ages event.
Suggested runtime: 60–90 minutes.
