Continent Study: Europe Part I

Wednesday, 24 April 2013

Here are the learning materials we have for our Europe Continent Study. 

Poor man’s puzzle map of Europe.  We did a similar thing with Africa and will be doing this with other continents as well once we revisit them.  My son enjoys putting the map!   You can this map and other continents from here.

Of course, there’s the pinning of flags to familiarize the locations of European countries.

3 part cards of flags of Europe.  You can get it from here, together with map pin flags and with some other flag learning materials.

And of course, his favorite… identifying the animals of Europe!  My animals figures are from Safari Toobs and Schleich.

Here’s a closer look of how my animal cards/fact sheets look like.  If you’re interested, you can get it from here.

I also have cards for European cuisines.  I included this in our study as we have tried some of the foods here and at times I prepare them at home.  One of which is my ever favorite Paella.DSC_0980

Since we’ve been learning Arts and Artists, my son is already familiar with famous painters from Europe.  So I decided to include other famous people from this continent.DSC_0985 

We also have some Euro bills and UK pounds.  I bought these at ELC during the Christmas Sale Season :)  Then I also printed 10 random images of Europe.  I’m putting it on a file with caption so I can share it for free.

And we also have pictures from our travels around Europe.  I will use this to talk about the landmarks and the places we’ve been to on my next post.

Will be posting other materials, activities and freebies based on this study soon, so watch out for it.
