Our Culture Kits include an assortment of materials from over 70 countries from around the world. These materials can include: arts and crafts, books and printed materials, clothing and textiles, food-related items, personal items, musical items, games, and other miscellaneous artifacts. The materials have been collected over a number of years, and although not a comprehensive collection, each kit contains valuable cultural lessons. We also have over 100 country flags available for use.
The kits are a good resource to use as an introduction to a geography or social studies unit as the materials will help students visualize a particular country or region.
Some kits include sample lesson plans that can be used by instructors to integrate the materials into the classroom.
Culture kits provide an excellent base for discussion on particular countries or regions.
