Where in Africa?- An Interactive Scavenger Hunt Around the African Continent!

Where in Africa can you go on a gorilla trek, see the pyramids, or hike Mount Kilimanjaro? Join me on an interactive scavenger hunt around Africa! As a continuation of my "Where in the World" class series, young learners will have the opportunity to explore the African continent while searching for different country specific items. During our virtual field trip, learners will go on a make believe airplane ride to six different African countries. Through a multimedia presentation that includes maps, photos, and videos we will experience:

          -Riding a camel at the pyramids in Egypt
          -A gorilla trek in Uganda
          -A safari in Kenya to search for the Big Five
          -A hike up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania
          -A helicopter ride over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe
          -An excursion to Boulders Beach in South Africa to see the African penguins

We will also learn how to say a greeting in each country and identify the first letter of each country. Our journey around Africa will be very interactive and full of movement and activities to keep young children engaged! This is a perfect class for animal lovers, as we will get to see many amazing African animals!

Each learner will be provided with two printable handouts prior to the class. The first handout will contain six pictures of items to look for as we explore each country. Children will be encouraged to keep their eyes open for the items on the printable, and they can circle each item as we find it. The second handout will contain the names of the countries we will visit, with a space to match each country specific item. After class is over, students may glue the scavenger hunt pictures to the country where we found them. 

Let’s go on an adventure! I can’t wait to explore Africa with your tiny traveler!
