At first, your child might be confused, keep a clock handy and explain it to him.Powerful Primary Geography: A Toolkit for 21st-Century Learning explores the need for children to understand the modern world and their place in it. Now, ask your child questions such as “ What is the time right now at the White House if we arrive at the Taj Mahal by 6pm, what time will it be at home?”. Ask your child to stick a gold star on each of the vacation spots, and their pictures for a visual representation of each place. Find at least one place in each time zone. Help your child think about the various family vacation spots, such as the Grand Canyon, Taj Mahal, and Disneyland Park. Help your child divide the world map into the four time zones using a permanent marker, and name all of them. (CST – Central Standard Time EST – Eastern Standard Time MST – Mountain Standard Time PST – Pacific Standard Time) Explain them the math behind the time zones using this simple equation:ĬST = 1hour behind EST, 1 hour ahead of MST and 2 hours ahead of PST. Teach your child what a time zone is, why there are different time zones in different countries, and how the time zones change as the sun moves over each part of the world. 
This is a creative way to teach your children capital cities and the famous landmarks in those cities. They will now be able to mark the locations better on a map. What kids learn: Your kid will learn the hierarchy of places, and why they are divided so.
Ask the kid to write down the home address and two of your relatives’ addresses (preferably those who live in some other continent/country) following the same hierarchy. Explain what each circle signifies and how the hierarchy goes. Starting from the outermost circle, name them in the following hierarchy - continent-country-state-city-street-home. 
On a chart paper, draw six circles from the biggest to the smallest, one inside the other. This geography game will help children understand the continent, country, state, city, street and home where they live. What kids learn: They will know how to locate a country/ state on a map, its position on the map and its neighboring countries/ states.
