Visiting China and Africa!

For my Vacaciones Utiles classes (summer school classes), I have been teaching about different countries from around the world. In the first class we made passports. Each week they get a "customs stamp" from a new country (it is just a stamp I design.) Before they get their stamps, we go over interesting facts about the country of the week. Last week we learned about China. Did you know that soccer originated in China? Did you know that toilet paper was invented in China and originally only used by emperors? How about South Africa? What do you know about South Africa? South Africa has three capital cities. In South Africa 3/5 of the world's fastest land animals live (the cheetah, the wildebeest, and the lion.) South Africa has the cheapest electricity in the world. Also, South Africa has its very own penguin colony! After the boring informational part, we do a craft from that country. So far we have made Chinese New Years lanterns and masks!

They got really excited to do the lanterns and started swarming my desk...
