Kindergarten HASS Geography: My Place, Our Places!

Tired of endless lesson prep and creating student materials? Our Kindergarten HASS Geography Unit: My Place, Our Places! delivers ready-to-use, Australian Curriculum-aligned resources that bring geographical concepts to life for little explorers! 

Discover the benefits of this unit:

• Effortless Delivery: With clearly defined objectives and explicit teaching content, you'll feel confident guiding your Kindergarten students through foundational geographical concepts. They'll learn to identify the features of familiar places like their homes, school, and local parks, understand simple mapping skills, and discover how we can care for our environment.
• Engaging, Hands-on Activities: Spark endless curiosity with exciting, play-based investigations! From drawing "My Special Home Features" and exploring the school on "Our Wonderful School Walk" to distinguishing between "Natural and Built Features" during "Park Adventures." Students will master "Mapping Our Classroom Journey," reflect on "My Special Place in Nature," and delve into respectful learning about "Our School's Country/Place." They'll also discover "First Nations Connection to Country" through stories and learn "Caring for Country/Place" in simple, actionable ways. The unit culminates in celebrating "Special Community Places" and creating an "Our Special Places Class Book!"
• Natural Assessment: Easily monitor student progress through embedded formative assessment opportunities. You'll observe their understanding as they classify features of their familiar places, create simple pictorial maps, describe locations, and share how to care for their special environments.
• Extension Included: Thoughtfully designed extension tasks provide exciting challenges for advanced learners. They can create dream home designs, map out their journey to school, explore digital photo diaries of school features, or even design new community places, deepening their geographical inquiry.
• Real-World Connections: Help your students build a strong sense of belonging, responsibility, and connection to place! This unit directly connects their understanding of their own immediate environment (home, classroom, schoolyard) to their wider community and significant Australian places, fostering an appreciation for how people interact with and care for places.

BONUS! FREE Student Worksheets: This unit includes ready-to-print (or use digitally) student worksheets! These are directly aligned with each fun, hands-on lesson, saving you even more precious preparation time and providing valuable learning activities for your students.
