Travel the World Without Ever Leaving the Classroom!

Cameroon

Here’s a list of the resources we used, videos we watched, and activities we did in our study of Cameroon.

Travel Book Pages

Every time we begin our “travels” to a new country, we always do the same 5 things:

1) Find the flag sticker for the country we are going to travel to, and stick it in our Pretend Passports.

2) Set up a pretend airplane and sing our “All Around the World” song as we pretend to fly to our destination.

3) Assemble our first travel book page, with the name of the country, the flag, country outline, and the pictures of people dressed in traditional costume.

4) Have a fun little country themed scavenger hunt! (featured below)

5) Assemble our second travel page book. Although, this page we usually do on our LAST day of learning about the country, since the kids like to pretend that they took all these pictures while they were visiting the country, so this second page is a place for them to “scrapbook” their memories of what they did on their adventure.

Cameroon Scavenger Hunt

Cameroon Scavenger Hunt. We always like to do a scavenger hunt when learning about a new country. This is the scavenger hunt we put together for India.

Eating Like the Locals in the Streets of Yaounde (Dave Mani)

Note: If you don’t want to expose your kids to alcoholic beverages, this might not be the best video for your classroom . . . but because “Palm Wine” and “33 Beer” are both locally made in Cameroon and really are a big part of the culture, I decided to leave it in the video, especially since the people in the video are drinking responsibly and not abusing the substance.

Eating Like the Locals in the Streets of Yaounde. Join Dave and Tracey as they take a food tour throughout the city of Yaounde, eating everything they can find, and stopping at some of the most popular attractions in town.

The Water Princess (Little Books Great Stories)

The Water Princess. For many people in West and Central Africa (including Cameroon) water is a scarcity. “The Water Princess” is a book written by a woman from Africa who grew up in a location where the nearest water was a great distance away and not at all clean. Based on the true story of a young girl who dreams of bringing water to her small African village.
