We've been working on Around the World Homeschool Curriculum . Africa was a little hard to divide, so we kind of did it in regions, but not perfectly. Here is what we did over about three weeks.
Books:
As always, we read many great spines on these countries, but here are some extra picture books we read:
Both of these books were read throughout learning about Africa.
Africa, Amazing Africa (checked out enough from the library over the years that we finally bout it)
Sulwe (Kenya)
Pages from The Wild Life of Animals
Activities:
Flags from Little Passports
Maze from Around the World Mazes
Recipe:
Read Aloud:
During our time studying Africa, we also studied the desert biome. We read The Secret Explorers Desert Disappearance to relate to that, then we read Lions at Lunchtime and Madagascar Madness for Africa.
Art:
Archer watched an Art for Kids Hub video on how to draw a giraffe.
He practiced mixing paint colors to make a mane, then cut out a face on construction paper to complete this lion.
For this one, he painted the sunset, the glued on all the black pieces for the foreground. My neighbor was kind enough to cut out the animals for us with her Silhouette.
