Geomoji!! Can You Get These Places Right?

If we don't have a globe or printed map and other materials, what can we use instead?

If you don't have a globe, emoji puzzle list, notebook, or stickers, use a tablet or smartphone map app placed where you can see it as in Step 2, print or hand‑draw the emoji puzzles, use any notebook or loose paper for answers, and substitute small coins or paper stars for stickers/tokens.

What should we do if an emoji puzzle feels too vague and we can't find a matching place on the map?

Go back to Step 4 and say aloud one idea for each emoji, then follow Step 6 to ask an adult or check a book and use keywords from your ideas to search the map or internet to narrow down possible places.

How can this activity be adjusted for younger children or older kids?

For younger kids, use puzzles with only one or two emojis and give multiple‑choice guesses and immediate stickers (Step 3 and Step 11), while older kids can be asked to write two factual reasons, find coordinates on the map, and complete at least the four additional puzzles in the 'repeat Steps 3 to 11' instruction.

How can we extend or personalize the Geomoji activity after finishing the basic puzzles?

Make your own emoji puzzles, glue your notebook pages into a booklet with stickers as a scorecard, turn it into a timed challenge to see how many puzzles you solve in 10 minutes, and then share your finished Geomoji guesses and explanations on DIY.org as the final step requests.
