Europe Study Part I

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

My son has specifically requested that we have Europe Study this month.  I guess the interest was brought about by the celebration of St. Patrick's Day this month in which they created the Irish flag in school and were plotting Ireland in the Europe map.

WARNING, this post is flooded with photos, as I would rather describe the activities we did in pictures rather than writing a novel about :)

Before anything else, if you are interested to read about our 2013 Europe Unit Study, please click this link.

For the resources and materials:

   - Flags of Europe (includes all materials used here except the puzzle flags)

   - European countries outline / solid black

Now for this years unit we started working with mapping and flags.  I printed the large flag from here.  The site allows you to print the maps in different sizes you.  I chose a bigger version so we can label the countries clearly.

Oh and Mavi has an audience while working :)

Next we work on the flags.  Here on the pictures below Mavi is identifying the countries and their flags.  DSC_0758

I also created these flag puzzles for Mavi to worked on.  I just printed these flags in big sizes and cut them to pieces for him to assemble.

Of course, the 3 part cards of the European flags is a must :)

Mavi also worked on these flag matching activity.  Here he's matching the flag to the name of the country and the capital city.

Identifying the country's flag was a breeze but he is still new to identifying the capital city (except for the countries we've visited and stayed).  We'll be working on this a little more.

And last activity for the flag works is assembling European flags using pre-cut craft papers.  Early on I selected a few flags that he will work with.  I cut out the pieces needed and mix them together.  The challenge here is for him to look for the pieces that goes together to assemble a certain flag.  So you can see in the picture below he was able to make the flag of Ireland and Spain, and about to assemble the flag of Germany.
