Description
Help children see how the places they live fit together with a Me on the Map ice cream craft. Each scoop represents a different location, turning an abstract geography idea into a visual project students can build and explain.
What’s included
- Ice cream cone and cherry templates
- Scoops for city, state, country, continent and planet
- Reference poster for students to complete
- Sample craft photo
Ways to use this resource
Begin with a map, globe or a geography read-aloud, then help students identify each location before assembling the scoops. The cherry represents the child, connecting their own experience to the wider world. Display the crafts on a social studies bulletin board or have students use them to explain where they live. The optional companion book Me on the Map is not included.
Format: Printable PDF. Pages: 6, including cover and terms. Suggested grades: K – 2nd. Digital download; no physical materials are shipped.

I love this for social studies. I used something similar when I taught fourth grade and I used this for my first grade class. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)

My class loved this activity! It was a great way to work on where they live and a fun way to do it! We did this on the second week of school in third grade when it was very hot out. Then we hung them in the hallway and they looked great! (Originally shared on my TpT store.)
