LER 1811
Inflatable
Topographical
Globe
Using an inflatable topographical globe in the classroom is a great way for
students to learn about the geographical characteristics of our world. Use
the globe for demonstration; teaching facts about the world, landforms,
regions; and as a classroom decoration.
Includes a repair kit: Please follow the directions found in the repair kit for
details on how to repair the inflatable globe if damage occurs.

5. Continue playing until all the students have had
a chance.
1. I am a country in the Southern Hemisphere.
2. I am to the west of the International Date Line.
3. I am made up of two main islands.
4. I am near Australia.
Variation: Play this game with music and stop the music
to indicate when the students should stop passing the
globe.
5. Where am I?
Activity 3: Swimming Time
Answer: New Zealand.
1. List the names of the major oceans on the board.
Have the small groups use the globe to try and figure out
the clues.
2. Ask the students if they have ever heard of any of
these before, and which ones they have heard of.
Once all of the groups have figured out what they are
looking for, have them share the clues with the rest of the
class and explain how they found the answer.
3. Show the globe and explain that all bodies of water
are somehow connected.
4. Divide the class into 5 groups and assign each group
one ocean to study.
The cards can contain clues for counties, continents,
states, cities, or whatever you would like to have the
students learn about.
5. Give the groups ten minutes to find where their
ocean is located, what continents and countries are
touching that ocean, and what are some of the rivers
and other bodies of water that flow into that ocean.
Variation: This is also an activity that students could do.
Have students write out the clues and give them to other
students. The other students can then use the clues to
discover new locations.
6. After the ten minutes are up, each group should give
a quick presentation of their findings.
Activity 5: Geo-Quiz
Activity 4: Where in the world am I?
Have the students sit at their desks and divide the room in
two groups. Explain that you are going to play a quiz
show game about the world and each side of the room is
a team.
Separate students into small groups of 3-4.
Give each group a stack of index cards with clues about a
specific location on the globe, such as:

Ask a question about a country, continent, body of water,
etc.
Variation: This game can also be played with a minimum
of two students. Write the questions on cards and have
the students take turns reading the questions to each
other. The only difference in scoring is that points are not
awarded to the other player if an incorrect answer is
given. The player with the most points at the end wins.
If students think they know the answer, they should raise
their hand.
Toss the globe to whoever raises their hand first and give
them 10 seconds to answer.

If they answer incorrectly, give the team 20 seconds to
come up with an answer.
If the team or the student answers correctly, then that
team receives 1 point. If both the student and the team
answer incorrectly, then the other team receives the point.
Play continues until all the questions have been
answered, or until one team reaches a specified point
total.
