  • Apples4theTeacher.com: This site has info and printables for each U.S. state.
  • Tell a story with a map: Many of us have used Google Maps to find directions to dinner, but have you tried using one to tell a story?

    Bible.is is a great place to get audio Bibles. If you are studying Spanish, French, Arabic, German, or any of hundreds of other languages, have your students download and listen to a chapter of the Bible in that language regularly.
