1 Christmas Around the World | © www.livinglifeintentionally.blogspot.com
I am so glad you are going to join us on our journey Around the World this Christmas season! I have teamed up with the most amazing group of creative bloggers out there – this is going to be GREAT! I came up with this series to help me spend some fun, quality, and educational time with my kiddos this holiday season. There are over 30 countries here – so don’t feel like you HAVE to do them all! Pick the ones that interest you and start there. You just may have enough to do this 2 years =-)
So here’s how it works: Download Christmas Around the World eBook (that’s this book here)
Print pages 6 – 37 per child who is completing the program (if you want them to have their own sheets). I suggest putting them together in a book (use a binding machine, 3 ring folder, folder with loose-leaf sheets, or even stapling them together!)
The table of contents has VERY helpful links where you can find more information and videos. No need to print it, but you may want to keep it handy to reference. There are some great pictures and day in the life of other children from around the world. I think yours kids are really going to like it!
Coloring Sheets (pages 38-39) – I included 2 optional colorings sheets.
Recommendations (pages 40-41) – If you are looking for some recommendations for books or educational items to use with this unit, I’ve compiled a list for you. Just click on the image.
Participating Blogs – Here are all the amazing blogs that are sharing traditions, crafts, recipes, and pictures from all around the world!
Download & Print Passport (optional) – I have also created a passport you can use along your journey. There are special pages for each country we are visiting plus several blank ones in case you make any extra stops. You can download it here.
Follow Along DAILY on my blog HERE- Each day from November 23rd – December 24th there will be a new country added to the linky on this page. The link will tell you the name of the country covered. Click on the thumbnail (picture) to go to the participating blog to learn about that country plus find recipes, crafts, and lots of other great stuff! Then just fill out the 1 page sheet in this pack per country along with any craft or project you choose to do from the linky. You might also want to put markers on a World Map to show where you’ve been so far. We are covering 30+ countries all around the globe! It is going to be AMAZING! I hope that you and your kiddos have LOTS of fun! And don’t forget to leave some comment love for all of us bloggers who are bringing you this spectacular series! Merry Christmas!
