Cultural Connections is a series of 12 week long, literature based, hands-on curriculum guides that have been designed to be used with 6-8 year old children. These guides have been created to help introduce young students to the cultures and people from around the world. We will focus on the elements of life that we all have in common such as family, food, festivals, crafts, music, and games.
Unit Five will include activities for South Africa, Iran, and Sweden. Paint a Ndebele style mini house, taste Kabob Koobideh, and play the lawn game Kubb.
Please note: You will need a copy of the Teacher’s Guide to use this unit.
