There are number of resources coming with the map, including laminates of Georgia landscapes, handheld Georgia whiteboards, traffic cones, yellow flexible chain, colored lanyards, and other miscellaneous items. The reason for all of these extra items ... there are some great activities that are already organized for you to lead your class in... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ckVTPhf0DfeWRhbXJkVURybk0
