Welcome to Christmas Around the World hosted by International Homeschool Spirit Week. We’re so happy you dropped by to visit. We will be celebrating Christmas Around the World December 10-14, 2018. Below you will find tons of resources. We hope these will help as your family plans fun lessons and activities for the week. To participate, select the countries you want to study during Christmas Around the World week. You can study one country each day or select 1 country to study in depth all week. Then, share photos of the fun activities and projects your family does on our Facebook page December 10-14 so we can all learn from each other.
Christmas Around the World Resources
Christmas Around the World Books
Emily at Table Life Blog has a fantastic Christmas Around the World in 100 Books List. And, she didn’t just slap books randomly on a list. She took the time and effort to list the books by continent and country. It’s a serious time saver and a gift to homeschooling families everywhere. If you love her list as much as I do, would you leave her a kind comment. Comments really encourage our homeschooling blogger friends and let them know we appreciate and are using their content.
As We Walk Along the Road has a Free Christmas Around the World Unit Study and Notebooking Pages. Her Unit Study explores Christmas in Australia, France, Russian, Italy, and Mexico. Everything you need is available on her site. Did I mention it’s FREE!
