The Five Themes of Geography- Color by Number- 12 Terms

Engage your 5th through 8th graders in a fun review of the Five Themes of Geography with this interactive activity! Before they take their test, help them strengthen their knowledge with the Five Themes of Geography: Color by Number - Multiple Choice Review. This 8-page resource focuses on 12 key geography terms: adaptation, exact location, geography, human features, interaction, latitude, longitude, movement, physical features, place, region, and relative location.

In this one-period activity, students work through a multiple-choice worksheet where they match definitions to the correct vocabulary words. As they answer, they'll color a blank butterfly drawing according to a number and color code that corresponds with each term. By the end of the activity, they'll have completed both a beautiful butterfly and a comprehensive review of essential geography concepts.

The butterfly features 12 colors (pink, yellow, orange, sky blue, yellow-green, green, purple, red-orange, blue, red, brown, and black), and an answer key is included for quick and easy grading. Your students will enjoy creating a beautiful butterfly while reinforcing important geographical knowledge!
