How do you bring an international flavor into your home education program? Why not host a cultural fair within your homeschool network? It's a perfect event for homeschool co-ops, support groups, or even neighboring homeschool families. Each family represents a country, spending time in advance doing research and preparing a display board and/or booth that depicts that nation. On the day of the cultural fair, each family sets up their display for the group to view. It's a great way to share information. Children and parents alike learn about a variety of cultures in a fun family atmosphere.
Want to add an extra flair? Hand out miniature passports for the children to carry to each booth where they can recieve a sticker of that country's flag. You can also set up a buffet table and ask families to bring dishes of food that represent their country of study. A world map hung up in the display area can mark all of the countries on display at the cultural fair.
Get as elaborate as you like, and have fun with this event. It will be a high point in your school calendar planning for years to come!
