How are you teach about culture at home? A couple of months ago I was interviewed by MSN’s “Mom’s Homeroom” about incorporating geography lessons into our daily lives, and also teaching about culture at home. You can see the first video on teaching geography at home, plus silly pictures of the taping here. In the second video (click on the picture below) I give tips on how we integrate our children’s heritages and birth cultures into our family life.
You might notice me glaring over the camera at my 4 kids, who were precariously close to knocking over the lights while I was being interviewed:)- fortunately nothing was broken and they had a fun time playing with the microphones!
Teaching about Culture at Home
If you are an adoptive or multicultural family (or interested in world cultures!) here are 14 ways we’re teaching about culture at home. Though written for adoptive families, any family can follow the tips to learn about world cultures at home!
What do you think? Time was short, and I may have missed important ways to incorporate culture at home. What are your favorite cultural activities with your kids?
This is a keeper! Thanks.
What an awesome interview! Love the project of drawing the house, city, state, country, etc, etc.! Will do that with little one 🙂 we have maps, and the globe but the project puts in a “visual” perspective of where and how we are located in comparison to the globe. Thank you so much!
Excellent job Becky!! That was awesome!
Thank you so much Cathy!:) I was a little nervous how it would turn out, but I’m pleased with the result:).
