Maps, you'd be lost without them!! Mind you as you can see if you had had a map around 600 years ago, you would have been lost with one too!

Thanks to satellites, maps have come a long way. So now there is no excuse for getting lost. Unless of course your map reading skills are a little rusty! Panic not if they are because we have created some challenges and a game to help improve your atlas skills.

The members of our club also like to use Sherston's Map Detectives because its a fun way of finding out about map co-ordinates and map symbols.

Don't give up though if your school hasn't got Map Detectives, the Map Zone website found on our links page has some great games to play too. If your classroom has got an interactive whiteboard why not ask your teacher if your class can play them, but don't let your teacher hog the board!!!
