Abstract
This study aimed to determine the extent of the impact of the hands and minds strategy on the levels of fourth grade students in geography and to develop their visual thinking. The researcher prepared a visual thinking and achievement test and presented it to a group of experts and arbitrators to ensure the validity and reliability of the test. After conducting statistical analysis, the researcher concluded that the strategy of hands, minds, and achievement increased and enhanced visual thinking among students. The researcher then presented several suggestions and recommendations.
