Let's Go Around the World! {a whole year of social studies}

This is the ultimate trip around the world for you and your students. In this mega-225-page resource, you will find the means to teach (and learn) about traditions and holidays in 20 different countries/regions around the world. Teacher fact sheets, printables, craftivities, games, and more are all ready for you. Also included are passport templates so your students can reflect on every place they have "travelled" to! Your students are going to love this journey....and so will you!!! There is at least one celebration/tradition for each month of the year, which means you can keep this unit running all year long! There are at least 2 different follow up activities for each place, along with extras at the end of the resource (e.g., graphic organizers, etc). Check out the preview for some more information.

Countries/Regions Included:
- Canada/USA

There is so much to learn about the world we live in. I had a blast researching these countries and putting together this document. I know you and your students will love experiencing other parts of the world, too. As always, your feedback is appreciated and highly valued. Thank you!!!!!
