“Geoforce special agents” is a series through which primary school children can easily create fun and colourful lapbooks, that are creative folders in which information on a topic can be collected.

To do this, children will have to complete a special mission (like: finding a treasure in ancient Egypt, scaring a ghost away from an ancient castle, helping Etna’s operations centre). Only at the end of the mission will the children have created their own lapbook (about Egypt, medieval castles,volcanos…).
