Whether it’s with just your family or with a house full of friends, the children can present their geography research in word, song, artwork, or costume. Eat Your Way Around the World will help you with the food. The recipes are arranged by continent and represent the most popular dishes for each country. My favorites are tasty Italian minestrone soup and Indian chicken curry. But I’ve also served French onion soup, New Zealand kiwis, and English cucumber sandwiches and scones. Among the recipes are insights into dining etiquette. In France bread is served on the tablecloth and usually not buttered. Food facts are also sprinkled throughout. After instructions on how to grow a South American pineapple, you can read that this fruit was brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and became a symbol of hospitality.

Then it breaks down the continent into countries and provides art projects to do relating to that specific country and really cool facts about it. For instance, I didn't know that in Ghana (Africa Continent), a rare (but wierd) form of art existed such as coffin art. I also learned in this country about a Kente Cloth and the project cooresponding to it is creating one with construction paper. am SO pleased with this curriculum. In my non-crafty mind I can see myself actually being able to do this and having fun with it. I consider it an entire geography curriculum if you throw in some library books, extend some of the map lessons, and take advantage of the Countries of the World fact sheet.

Generally, you would not use the same book two years in a row, but would shift to another book, returning to a book a year or two later.
