Passports

Promote multicultural awareness and self esteem with this early childhood education activity by Matina.

Materials

Paper and a camera

Description

We made passports by stapling white paper to construction paper. Then from January until May we studied a different country. We studied Russia, Africa, Ireland, Israel, China, Antarctica, Australia, Mexico, Japan, France, Hawaii, and Saudi Arabia. Then for each country the youngsters wore a hat or a prop from that country (ex: France, beret). We took pictures of each child wearing his or her hat or prop. Then I glued the pictures into each child's individual passport and gave it to them along with a world traveler certificate at the end of the year. They had lots of fun "dressing up!"

World Passport

Teach pre-k and kindergarten children the concept of "Around the World" with this early childhood project by Gina. You may want to take more that one week to accomplish this project. 

Materials

Blank booklet and a stamp for each country

Description

Teachers decide which countries you want your class to visit. We did Russia, China, Mexico, Egypt and United Kingdom.  We took a sheet of paper for each country and researched facts through books, the internet and guest speakers.  We wrote down important facts and when we were done, I had made "stamps" from each country (Ex: Egypt = Pyramid) and the children glued them at the bottom of their sheet.

Once the week was up we went through our passport and planned a 'Round the world party where each child dressed like the people from one of the countries we visited and we made native foods and played native games.
