Preschool Lesson PlansAn Introduction to the WorldIntroduce your children to the world then use these preschool lessons plans to embark on a story-driven adventure around the world.
If you have a globe, show them that this is a small version, a model of how the earth looks. Alternatively, use an atlas and explain that the map is a picture of the earth. Begin by showing them the place on the earth where you live, name the city, state or country. Next, ask them if they know any other places on the earth and see if they can point them out. We began by saying: "We are here in Hermanus (near the southern-most tip of Africa) and Granny and Grandpa live ‘there’". Someone else we know lives in Johannesburg.Uncle Joe lives in China and we have friends in New Zealand, etc. Do the same using people and places that are meaningful to your children. If you are able, you could download Google Earth - its FREE – and take a look at the earth as photographed by satellites in space. It is amazing! You should be able to identify the very house or building where you are as viewed from above! Below are the countries of the world that we have explored so far. You are also invited to share your 'travels' using the form that follows lower down the page and in return you will receive a free Ocean Theme Lapbook.
