Here are some useful vocabulary words for teaching about the Earth in English-French-Spanish:

I cannot imagine teaching without my inflatable globe ball. It’s perfect for rolling, tossing, identifying land, water, continents, countries, cities, and more. If you know of some great globe games, I’d love to hear from you!

Hello!
Thank you very much for such a nice resources.
Painting/drawing/coloring while learning a second language is trully a good way to learn (and to teach).
I just wanted to suggest a new word (just in case you find it interesting)to your Earth-vocabulary list:
sea-la mer-el mar
Good luck!
