Cooperative Learning: International Festival

February 27, 2012 by Anne Campbell 2 Comments

International Festival

Our homeschool support group held an International Festival this year, and we gathered for a cultural exchange to learn about the countries the different families studied.

Each family that participated signed up to research a country and prepare a presentation about that country. We all brought food inspired by the countries studied, and the kids each had an opportunity to speak in front of the group. This not only provided a wonderful learning opportunity, but it also gave the kids practice in preparing a speech and actually speaking from a stage to an audience.

Some kids did a “show and tell” while others simply read from a paper. Some came to the International Festival in costume, and some played music. After lunch and the presentations, each child was presented with a “passport,” and they visited each “country” to get a stamp. Some host countries even handed out souvenirs like coffee from Uruguay and a street map from London.

This cooperative learning experience is a wonderful hands-on learning opportunity where all ages can participate!
