Passport Activity

• • Gives attendees the chance to learn about many different countries from community members and college students representing their own cultures but in a new interactive and engaging approach!

  • Please see the linked PDF below to read the instructions of the activity (instructions vary by grade). Passport Activity Instructions

Storytime Corner

• • Stories, including oral retellings, are one of the basic and fun ways to communicate. Learning about different cultures and countries can be done through those children's stories. It shows the cultural and gender norms of that culture/country and creates basic images of that society. It also gives visitors a chance to ask questions to a native of that culture/country. 

  • For more information, please see our Children's Story and Cultural Learning handout and a question sheet for meaningful discussion of a story.

Craft Corner

• • Every hour we have a new cultural craft students can create. It is a fun way to learn more about a certain culture and you get to take the craft home.
