Travel Around the World {3 Times In One Day} Kids Activities Blog

Nosotros aren't traveling this season, but wish we were!   Here is an activeness we created so that nosotros could travel around the world – from the comfort of dwelling.

Recently we took a few trips around the globe, 3 to be exact, all in one afternoon. It was pretty awesome.

Travel Effectually the Globe

ANIMALS: The first trip was to each continent. We identified animals from around the world using Montessori's matching and sorting to seven continents arroyo. I downloaded these handy cards from Montessori Print Store, printed them on color and laminated them individually for safety keeping.   I presented the action to my son with the cards in a basket and the continent sheets in a pile. I reviewed the elementary black and white continent outlines with him kickoff. We went over each continent. Then I pulled out the continent sheets that include the colour images of the animals. This is when things got actually heady. He was really happy and knew the direction of the activeness. He jumped up and showed me on our wall map to show me the location of the animals.

World Travel

OLYMPICS: The next trip we took was identifying the Olympic Host Cities and Countries. A volume we recently read that perfectly introduced the Olympics to my son included an index of every modern Olympics game and the location of each game. I purchased these adorable ane inch by 1 inch stickers from Amazon, pulled out our earth map (courtesy of Little Passports) and we went downwards the list of cities and countries. I didn't worry most replacing the map. Adding the Olympic rings stickers added character to it and it'll be fun to reference.

CHILDREN: Then nosotros looked at children from around the earth with these swell Montessori three office cards I purchased off Ebay for less then $10. The cards came all laminated but not cutting individually.

Honestly, that worked well for united states. I didn't cutting up the cards and instead used the viii x ten laminated sheets as a guide and reference with my son equally we talked virtually the children and where they live in the globe. In the near future, I plan to cut them individually and work on sorting to countries and continents.

Coupled with these cards is a lovely memory game past Eeboo called, I Never Forget a Face. Since my son is only 3 years former, we sorted mostly. In gild to successfully play the memory portion of the activity, I had to present fewer pairs to him. That approach worked well. Once again, he jumped up to his wall map to show me where each child lives in the world.

Then in that location you accept it. Three wonderful ways to explore the world's geography, animals and culture.
