Abstract
Contents

After an introduction that helps to frame the volume in a complete and exhaustive theoretical framework, Active geography for primary school offers over 50 activities, divided into 21 programmes, designed to intertwine geography with other disciplines and allow the primary school teacher to vary between different activities to be carried out in the classroom or outdoors, with a “traditional” or playful and multimedia approach.

The book is divided into the following sections:

Geographic ideas in literature
Geographic ideas in music and art
Geographic ideas in animated films
The earth and us, made of the same stuff
The local mind and a sense of place
Educating for Citizenship
Playing with Geography
