Free Travel Worksheets for 3rd Grade
Ages 8–9
Travel-themed worksheets take students on a journey around the globe without leaving the classroom. By exploring maps, landmarks and cultural traditions from different countries, children develop geographic literacy alongside reading and math skills. Younger learners practice directional words like north, south, east and west, while older students calculate distances between cities or compare time zones. Packing-list activities build vocabulary and categorization skills as children decide what belongs in a suitcase for different climates. Passport-style booklets encourage creative writing when students describe imaginary trips and the foods, animals and languages they might encounter. These resources make abstract concepts like scale, latitude and cultural diversity tangible and memorable. Travel worksheets are especially effective during social studies units, offering a hands-on complement to textbook lessons about world geography and global citizenship.
