Free Printable Where is Reunion Island

Where is Reunion Island? Do you know? Many children can probably easily find Madagascar on a globe or world map. This mini-lesson will help extend their knowledge to another “nearby” island, Reunion Island, or La Réunion. With a fabulous landscape, volcanoes, adventure sports, and cultural activities, it is also very interesting.

Classes may need a very short filler during the busy month of December or something for the fast finishers in class. This is just a mini-lesson and it is free.

This map shows major cities on La Réunion. How did I learn about this island? Miss Owl’s mother is from that island, and also from France. Her family lived in both places. This image view “squishes” the page but it will look correct in the actual PDF.

Madagascar has more wildlife and exclusive creatures.  Reunion has more city areas, as well as their own astounding natural beauty.
