Students then locate their partner schools on a map of the world. They focus
on the countries where those partner schools are located and learn about
them and their flags and perhaps about their basic characteristics (e.g., cli—
mate, animals, plants, etc).

Optional Activity

A possible activity would be for students to divide into groups, each of
which would be responsible for one country and for making a display with
pictures and other items from that country. The students then carry around
a “passport” and fill it in with pictures or stamps as they “visit” each country/
station. Parents can be asked to help with this activity.

Activity 2.1.6 (Four Sessions)

Learning about Games in Other Countries

Using the games described in the following resources, the teacher will teach
a lesson about games played in different countries. Students will label those
games and the countries in which they’re played on a world map, and in small
groups, they’ll study one particular game. The small groups will then apply the
rubric used throughout these activities to prepare a poster analyzing the game
and will present that poster to the class. If feasible, students will bring home
handouts with information about the game they’re studying and discuss this
game with siblings and parents.

As part of this lesson, students learn to locate on a map all of the continents
and the regions or countries from which they, their parents or guardians,
