Elementary Geography Studies
Built on Diverse, Living Books

Four years ago, we threw out the textbooks and started on a quest to study every country of the world by reading diverse, living stories written by people who have grown up or lived in the culture. Letting the content of the book lead the way, we followed up with art projects, STEM learning, music activities, animal science connections, cooking the food of the country, map work, and so on. Now THIS is the geography curriculum that works for us.

Now that we are on our 90th country and have a process, I’ve started compiling our favorite activities into homeschool geography curriculum units to share with you. More about me.

We like to focus on one country at a time. My “A Book A Day” series presents four things to do each day: a short blurb to read aloud, a picture book to enjoy, a video to watch, and a related activity to lock it all in. My goal in every study is to point you to the best books and supporting videos. Immerse yourself in the beauty of each culture!
