Map Skills - Design Your Own Amusement Park

Using map skills learned in class, students must design their own amusement park. Students must include map elements such as scale, a legend, symbols and more! They must also write about and explain their "best" ride. This activity has always been one of my students' favorite projects! It's a fun and unique way to wrap up a mapping unit or as a fun project for social studies!

I encourage the students to pick a theme for their park - I've had Rock N' Roll Parks, Vampire Parks, Video Games, and more! A fun and unique way to finish a Geography or Mapping Unit!

Please note that although you are able to create a TpT Digital Activity with this resource, the map is meant to be completed on paper.

Includes

• Detailed assignment sheet (2 versions - 1 with scale and 1 without scale)
• Mapping Essentials Handout
• Amusement Park Planner worksheetThemed Writing Paper
• Two marking guides - you choose which works best for you (also includes scale / no scale versions)
• Student example
