Step 1 · Learn it

What a map shows

A map is a view from above, shrunk down. Every map has a direction and a scale. Read those two things first.

Step 2 · Try it

Draw and mark

Draw the outline of Ghana. Mark your own town, the coast, and the nearest large river.

  Why Lovia recommends this: Map reading is a life skill, and learners engage far faster with a map of their own country.

  What to do: Draw the outline of Ghana. Mark your own town, then the nearest large river and the coast. Check region names against an official source before writing them.

  Ghana connection: The whole activity is about where the learner actually lives.
