Geography Awareness Week [ [link removed] ]
We?ve taken our popular elementary?geography activity [ [link removed] ]?to the next level. In this Kahoot! game [ [link removed] ], students put their scavenger hunt skills to the test to find a geographer named Gina who loves to travel and has escaped to an undisclosed location. They?ll use Census Bureau data-powered clues about landmarks, weather, population, and more to locate Gina and bring her back to school.

*Emergency Preparedness.* Our Play It Safe! activity [ [link removed] ] teaches elementary students how the U.S. Census Bureau helps emergency responders plan for and provide support during natural disasters. They will complete tasks such as creating an emergency preparedness kit, determining the states with the highest risk for hurricanes, and reviewing a series of photos of houses to determine which structures are most likely to survive a natural disaster.
