Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 40: Journey Through Nigeria

**BUCKLE UP, LOOK OUT — NIGERIA, HERE WE COME!**

Issue 40 of Shalvit Kids TV Magazine is a giant 135-page road trip across the whole of Nigeria — from Lagos's lagoons to the hills of Jos, the meeting rivers at Lokoja, Yankari's elephants and Zuma Rock's giant face. Every map in this issue tells the truth: north is up, the sea is in the south, and the Niger and Benue really do join at Lokoja.

**INSIDE THIS ISSUE:**

• **Hero Story — The Great Nigerian Road Trip:** the family drives across Nigeria in story-chapters — Daddy driving, seatbelts clicking on every page, the Book 100 road drill at the crossing, and one true wonder at every stop.

• **Story Two — Pip's Postcard from Everywhere:** Pip "sends" a postcard from each of Nigeria's six zones (expanding Book 96's atlas corner), and the cast stick them on the big wall map in exactly the right places.

• **Bible Story Time — The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24):** two friends walk seven miles feeling sad, a kind stranger joins them, and at the table their eyes open — Jesus, alive! Eyes-open joy is the centre; no cross or tomb imagery; Jesus gentle, no halo; cast as presenters only.

• **Feelings Corner — Feeling Proud of My Country:** loving the place we live — and being kind to people from every part of it.

• **Learning Lab — Map Skills:** north is up, the sea is in the SOUTH, two big rivers join and flow to the sea, the six zones in pictures, sunrise-east and sunset-west, and Kiki Asks Why? — "Why is Nigeria shaped like that?" (its edges follow rivers, the sea and old boundary lines).

• **Count & Find — The Big Map:** count exactly 6 zone stars and find 4 famous places (Lagos, Jos, Lokoja, Yankari) — every count drawn, numbered and checked in code!

• **Puzzle Pages:** two solver-checked mazes, a spot-the-difference between a true map and a silly map, patterns, shadows, dot-to-dot, pairs, a map hunt and the Big Quiz — with a FULL answer key at the back.

• **Special — Giant Map Colouring Page:** Nigeria's outline drawn in post, the sea at the bottom, and the Niger and Benue as two lines joining at Lokoja, ready to colour.

• **Make It — My Nigeria Flag:** colour and wave your own flag — green-white-green in vertical thirds, with cutting and taping clearly marked as grown-up steps.

• **Yummy Corner — Traveller's Snack Box:** handwashing first; a grown-up prepares; four cold tastes — groundnuts, coconut, tiger nuts and oranges.

• **Our Nigeria — Zuma Rock:** the giant rock near Abuja with a face in its side that everyone looks for — and the That's Cool! fact that its picture rides on Nigeria's 100 naira note.

• **Parent Pages:** what your child learned, all six zone names for grown-ups, how to explore the issue together, and the complete answer key.

**Skills learned:** early geography and map skills (compass points, zones, rivers, capital) • counting and finding • road and travel safety • national pride with kindness • Bible knowledge • fine-motor colouring, tracing and drawing.
