Love the pumpkin idea--that's great! I have taught this using a ball and a song. (Sung to the tune: Jingle Bells

Latitude, latitude

latitude, Lines go round and round Measuring north, Measuring south Those lines of latitude. Then: Longitude, longitude Lines go up and down Measuring east, Measuring west From the prime meridian Longitude, longitude, Lines go up and down Measuring east, measuring west Those lines of longitude. Note: While they are singing this

it's very important to have the students actually making the imaginary lines of longitude and latitude with their hands. If you use the pumpkin idea, have them trace the lines on the pumpkin with their fingers as they sing.

Worked for my group!!
