This week we went to spotlight and they have material you can purchase which is a map of the world you just need 1 panel cost was around $13.00 we will use this as a wall hanging back drop.
We have done this twice with Great Britain and France and are about to do Italy. We do some language learning, try food, watch a dvd and have the books from the Library for a few weeks. I would like to talk to the local radio show about being interviewed as I would like to get some community input.
would like to make a passport for each of the residents who attend. Any ideas of how to do this, a nice and resourceful way.
I love the idea of making up passports for our Armchair Travel I have looked on pintinterest but can't seem to find the pattern ? Any ideas ? thanks heaps Cheryl-lee
Yes, I found a pattern on Pinterest. It gives you the blank template. I made colored copies, cut them out and stapled them together. It looks like a real passport (kind of - haha) and I fill in their information and cut out a picture of them. It comes with some stamps from countries around the world. I copied them, cut them out and each time we do an armchair travel, I pass out the passports (I hold onto them so they don't get lost) and after out activity, I collect them and put the stamp of that country in. The residents like to see how many "countries" they have visited. Very cute idea!!
hi
where do you get 100 cities of the world resource
I would like to know as well. please let us know from where you got 100 cities DVD resource. I researched a lot but couldn't find. Thank you.
Brilliant
I've tried this with a globe on a stand, but the ball would work so much better.
we do a similar thing each only we pick the country we sourced dvd from the library some times and every three months we take it that step further and decorated for the week tried foods activities for the week and dressed up one day and got staff to dress up also and took lots of photos
