Exploring Countries and Cultures
For 3rd-6th Graders
and 2nd graders with older sibling in the program
(may be adapted for 7th-8th graders click here for 7th-8th grade information)

Take a trip around the world and explore diverse countries while learning geography and being challenged by true stories of missionaries.

Our easy-to-teach unit study includes a teacher's manual with daily lesson plans and all books for Bible, geography, science, art, and music. Supplement these with picture books and information books from the library for the countries you study. (Library books are general resources and you will not need to find specific titles, although we list resources we have found helpful.) Add math and language arts for a complete curriculum. Families only need to purchase one basic curriculum package, as it includes pages that may be photocopied. For classroom use, please contact us for special ordering information.

Teacher's Manual

  • Daily lesson plans are in an easy-to-use weekly chart format. Charts list each subject with page numbers of books to read. Many activities will be suitable for all ages; additional activities are suggested for older students. We do the lesson planning for you so you have more time to enjoy teaching!

Bible

  • True stories of godly men and women who served as missionaries overseas, using Hero Tales stories to illustrate specific character traits they portrayed.
  • Weekly information about different ethnic groups around the world and their specific prayer needs, using Window on the World.
  • Weekly memory verses and daily readings from Matthew.

Reading

  • Develop a love for reading using "living books" from our excellent library list of picture books, fiction and non-fiction for each country you study. Books are general resources and you will not need to find specific titles, although we list the very best we've read.

Geography

  • Maps and globes are explored with Illustrated World Atlas, Intermediate World Atlas, Maps and Globes, and a world wall map, as well as additional hands-on activities.
  • Vocabulary focuses on geographic terms as students make illustrated vocabulary cards from Geography From A to Z.
  • Outline maps and continent research packets from World Geography.
  • Hands-on activities (cooking, flag making, a passport, etc.) to explore 15 countries using A Trip Around the World and our Teacher's Manual. Library books provide enrichment for country topics that you study.

Science

  • Focus on different habitats (desert, rain forest, grassland, forest, polar region, etc.) using Wild Places and Living World Encyclopedia, as well as library books. Correlates to the country being studied (e.g., rain forest when studying Brazil). Includes a weekly nature walk and nature journal.
  • For 7th and 8th graders, enrich science topics with library books or add Apologia science.

Art and Music

  • Enjoy art projects and music from countries you "visit" this year using Global Art and Wee Sing Around the World. You may supplement with ethnic music from the library.
