1. Often there are people in your church or community who have
visited other countries or who have served as missionaries in other
countries. They can bring
in pictures and objects from those countries and answer children's questions.
Advertise in your church bulletin or local newspaper. The key here is to plan
ahead and advertise ahead of time. Your students will love the special presentations.
2. Mission Wax Museum - Animate your global studies with a mission
wax museum. A few weeks before the big day, ask each student to
choose a country and research
what it is like to live there. Have them find five to ten interesting facts.
Bring the facts to life in your mission museum. Ask each child to memorize his
or her facts and dress in an outfit appropriate to his or her country. Invite
other classes to your museum. When they arrive, dim the lights in the room and
provide visitors with flashlights. When a visitor shines the light on a "foreign
child" he or she comes to life, shares the facts, and then returns to the "wax" pose.
3. Take your students on a tour with live cams around the world
from Leonard's Cam World. Scroll down on this page and choose the
country. (This page could
be distracting to kids, I would bookmark the actual cam page and show it from
the front of the classroom instead of having students visit on their own).
4. Search your area for museums. Some have special exhibits on
other countries.
