idea #1

put a map of your town, state, country or world under a clear plastic tablecloth that finds its home on wherever your family gathers around often for meals, games, crafts, etc.
kids and adults will learn geography if by nothing else than subliminal messaging :). actually this idea has immense possibilities... learning: constellations, plants, animals, the human body, family photos, architecture, landmarks, design elements, old magazine covers of world events, etc.
