Summer Passport: South America

Summer is a great time to sneak in some extra learning, and kids are naturally so curious about other parts of the world.  I chose to do some research about South America, and while it’s obvious that each country (and even region!) has it’s own culture, I wanted to provide a general introduction to the continent and countries.  So come with me, as we travel to South America!

Ducksters has maps and fast facts about all the countries in South America.

Time Magazine for Kids has information about many world countries.  South America is at the bottom of this list.  If you click on a country you can read some quick facts about it and see a slideshow of photos.

One of the photos from Time Magazine for Kids – Llamas from Argentina!

A Headdress from Brazil (like the ones worn to Carnival) is a festive craft!
