Give the child the blank outline of the country in which you are going
to tell the story of your travel. Have him locate on the blank map each
city you visit and draw a line from one to the other showing the route
which was followed.
An example: England. I went to England and landed at Liverpool. I went
by rail from there to London, stopping one day at Gloucester. From
London I went by water to Portsmouth.

In this story you can ask the child to tell you what kind of houses
the inhabitants live in. You can take a ship and be collecting a cargo
at the ports. Ask the child what local products are most easily found,
and other questions which will show what these people export. Also the
customs and commerce of the country in which the story is located can
be discussed.
