PRESENTATION:
offer to present the globe to the child and invite him to wash his hands (at the institute, use the bowl filled with water)
take the globe and place it on the table
remove the sphere from the base, hold it in your hands and ask the child if he knows what it is
name it for him: it is the representation of the earth
touch the rough and the smooth
give the globe to the child so that he too can stroke the rough and the smooth
take back the sphere and touch the continents (the rough), then give it back to the child, invite him to touch the rough as well and name it: "the land". The child repeats.
do the same for the sea: touch the smooth, name it: the sea, give the sphere to the child,
have him touch the smooth and have him name the sea
