Family and Homeschool Activities: Landforms

These family and homeschool activities are designed to complement the Landforms topic on BrainPOP Jr.

Visit a Landform

Visit a landform with your child. You might want to hike on a mountain trail, visit the beach or coast, or take a bike ride along a plain or valley. This is a great opportunity to get some exercise together and learn about your area and its geography. Make sure your child brings notebooks, pencils, and crayons to take notes and make sketches. Ask your child to look for other landforms in your area that they would like to explore or learn about, such as hills and mountains.

This Land is Your Land

Have your child imagine living in a land completely different from where you currently live. How would life be different if you lived in the mountains? How would life be different if you lived on a coast, in the Great Plains, or on a very small Caribbean island? Have your child draw pictures, write stories, or even write a letter about his or her typical day in their new home.
