You could go on a journey through Great Britain and solve map puzzles. The Great British Treasure Hunt is among the more interesting half term activities we have seen.
With travel restrictions we obvliously can’t go on any holiday in the UK right now. However, this books lets us travel to iconic locations like Loch Ness, Glastonbury Tor, Stratford-Upon-Avon and the cloisters of Cambridge.
Explore forty stories, each relating to an OS Explorer map. In addition there are more than 350 brain teasers, puzzle questions for you to answer. Find poetic place names on maps, count the number of features, get to grip with different map scales and calculate distances.
The questions come in the four categories of Easy, Medium, Tricky and Difficult. This means that the book is suited for various age groups and map puzzle proficiency. When we went through the book we enjoyed answering the simpler questions and then graduating to the more difficult ones.
You learn fascinating insides into the geography of Great Britain as well as the history of Ordnance Survey – a treat for the whole family.
Pouring over a book will be great on a rainy day is great. Also have a look at our colouring in maps and be inspired by the 3D -flythroughs looking forward to a time when travel will be allowed again.
