Ireland
Here’s a list of the resources we used, videos we watched, and activities we did in our study of Ireland.
Note: I don’t feel comfortable letting my children watch movies directly on the internet, so I always download the content first, so they can watch everything offline. If you want to do this, too, I would highly recommend using HitPaw Video Converter. That’s what I use. It’s not free, but it works great. That’s what I use to download content from YouTube, so that we can watch all the content offline and not have to worry about what might “pop up” when my kids are watching the videos.
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 book page. 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.
