AFRICA in a Nutshell

I love making materials for our geography lessons! It gives me the freedom to choose subjects, topics to touch, and most of all it gives me the freedom to put depths into it. Now my latest creation is the Africa Continent Study! It is loaded with activities for you and your little ones or students. (Click the image or this link, Africa in a Nutshell to go to my shop)

So what’s included in this learning material?

Africa Continent Maps

The pack includes regional maps of Africa and I also included 3 part cards for the regional maps. Mavi loves the 3 part card version. He would always tell me that they are so tricky to match!

Africa Continent Ethnic Tribes

I am so amazed by these wonderful people! I hope to meet one of them someday. This activity introduces a child to the different ethnic groups in Africa. Aside from the nomenclature cards, I included definition or fact cards for each tribe so we can get to know them, how are they different from the others, and the unique practices that each group have.

Africa Continent Animals and their Skin Patterns

My Mavi loves this so much! He is amazed by the close-up picture of each animal and their skin coverings! We love putting them around in the house and see if they achieve a camouflage effect. Works best if you have animal figures that you can match with them. The kids will surely love this!

Africa Continent Fact Cards

These 42 fact cards basically summarizes the important things we needed to know about the African continent. I wrote the facts in a way that Mavi can easily absorb and understand them. I let him read the definitions. If you want to learn further, use these cards as your guide in researching more details in the internet. I am teaching Mavi how to do it. To have an idea how we put these Africa learning materials into action you can read about it in this post, "A Continent Study of AFRICA for Kids".

Africa Continent Giraffe and Zebra Nomenclature Cards

Working on nomenclature cards has helped Mavi learn to read and improve his vocabulary. Yes, starting when he was 3 yrs old, we would work on any available and interesting nomenclature cards I could get. He loves to match pictures and words! And how much more if you are working with animals!
