GLOBETROTTER KIDS...
is a program developed for elementary school children to teach them about other countries and cultures. Geography, history, language, art, food, music, and, most importantly, the people of that area are discussed and taught through games, art projects and other hands-on activities. The goal is to promote global understanding and cultural respect.
HOW IT WORKS …
Through Globetrotter Kids’ Teaching/Activity Kits, children are taught about other countries in a fun, new way --- with plenty of easy to understand handouts, art projects and games. For every country’s kit, there are over 16 lesson plans that cover a wide range of topics and give children a full and complete understanding of that country – from its geography and history to its language, art and food.
