AFRICA ACTIVITIES 1ST INSTALLMENT It has been all hands on deck these past two weeks since we have had our school suspended for COVID-19. Since that time I have been working with many other Montessorians across the globe to get things into the hands of educators and parents. I have been wanting to get back to blogging with regularity for some time now but have had other very pressing and difficult circumstances in my family's life to take care of first. I am so glad things had gotten to a good place before all this happened. I am also so grateful I have this platform already in place to make an impact for my own students as well as for so many others. I wish to thank my readers for the outpouring of love and kindness at this time and in the past. I want to be one of the helpers. Thank you also for being one of the helpers. We are gearing up for our Africa studies in Sequoias Class and I've been knee deep in creating new materials that are friendly to not only the classroom but for home as well. In this post I will endeavor to share what I have made and a few other things I absolutely love. Continent Globe Continent Puzzle Map Setting the Stage Whenever we are introducing a new continent for study I will always take the Continent Globe and Continent Puzzle Map together during a Line Time. We will sing the Continent Song together while pointing to the continents on the Continent Globe first and then again using the Continent Puzzle Map. The WHY behind doing this is simply - the younger the child the more often they need to see that these things mean the same thing. With the continued one-to-one correspondence practice more children will pick it up. Every time we begin a new continent of study the children in our class renew their interest in coloring, cutting and pasting, and painting the continents. More advanced Early Childhood students will appreciate making their own Continent Globe. This is also very beneficial for adults to create when a Continent Globe is not available. If the child is really interested you can have them do the coloring with a little support. The cuts make it difficult for Early Childhood students to know what color belongs where but it is such fun work. I take whatever color they should be using and make a small mark in the spot to color. This way they can be as independent as possible with the least amount of interference from adults. Once colored they will need plenty of support in taping it together so it forms a globe. Continent Flat Map Work The Colored Globe Cut Out The assembled Globe This following Coloring sheet is so helpful for this. Whenever there is work that has a specific way to be done you should create a Control of Error. That is one which is colored in the correct colors as an EXAMPLE. I always write EXAMPLE on the paper or else it may grow legs and go home with some little one. Even then it may happen, but much less often. Continents of the World Coloring Sheet This can also be used when a Continent Puzzle is not available. You can print off two sets, color one set in the continent colors and the other with the blue ocean. Then you can cut out the continent set and use them in place of the Continent Puzzle Map. Assembling the Continent World Coloring Sheet to be used in place of a Puzzle Map Continents Coloring Sheet Assembled as replacement for Puzzle Map Introduction to Africa Once we sing the Continent Song I will point to Africa and ask which continent this is. Once that has been answered I will tell the children we will now begin our study of Africa. There are two very good ways to introduce a continent. The first is with ARTIFACTS and the second is through PICTURES. ARTIFACTS In Montessori Classrooms we sequence our work from most concrete to most abstract. Artifacts are the most concrete representation of a continent. I find artifacts from friends who have visited and brought things back for me, by visiting my local second hand shops, and sometimes online. I try to get as many things second hand as possible. Carvings, textiles, jewelry, money, art etc. all make great artifacts for students to explore. Add in photo of artifacts PHOTOS Line Time Photos of a continent are large enough for everyone at the circle to see. We want to give an overview of the continent in a short enough time to keep the interest of the entire group while whetting their interest for more. That is easy to do with all the continents, but Africa is fabulous! Introduction to Africa Line Time Cards Once I have introduced our Continent it is time to give small group lessons for these very cool works. AFRICA PLAY DOUGH MAP This work is so lovely for the youngest students to use and they love it. All works on a Montessori shelf should have an indirect purpose. This work with play dough and the fitting into the small spaces of the map develop both the gross and fine motor control of the child. Africa Play Dough Map AFRICA TEAR MAP This work helps the child with the fine motor control as they tear green paper strips into pieces small enough to be glued onto the paper. The older the child the better they will be with the fineness of their tears. It is a great thing to challenge your older and more advanced students to stay as much in the lines as possible. This also develops hand-eye coordination. I have included a page of green in case there is not access to a green sheet of paper. It works best to cut the papers the child will use into a 1/4th of a sheet or even into strips 2 inches wide. Africa Tear Map AFRICAN MASKS ART When presenting this work I will show a small group of children the African Mask cards and then invite them to color, watercolor, paint, or use oil pastels to create a beautiful mask with the African Masks Coloring/Painting Pages. They are meant to be cut in half. We keep a smattering of the masks on a tray for the children to choose from. African Masks African Masks Coloring/Art Pages AFRICAN TEXTILES CARDS Something the children seem to enjoy a lot is the bold patterns of many African textiles. These cards could to be printed twice to make a matching set. African Textile Cards They could also be traced to make clothing like you see here using the Clothing Cut Out Patterns Clothing Cut Out Patterns ANIMALS OF THE SAVANNAH DIORAMA This new work has been fun to create. It is best suited for more advanced students to do independently. Younger students will love doing this with a little support. Follow their needs and help only as much as they need. African Savannah Diorama Animals African Savannah Animals Diorama Completed Keep a look out for Installment 2 of Africa Activities! Stay Safe! Stay Healthy! Loves, Cath

Waterfall in the tropical jungle, Cameroon A little Geography Cameroon is located in Central and West Africa, and is triangular in shape. Cameroon shares a border with six countries: Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, Central African Republic, Chad, and Nigeria. It also borders the Atlantic Ocean on the west side, and Lake Chad on the North. Mount Cameroon is one of Africa's largest volcanoes, and the highest peak in sub-Saharan western and central Africa rising to 4,040 metres (13,255 ft) above the west coast. The volcano is still active and last erupted in 2012. Often referred to as "Africa in miniature", Cameroon hosts roughly 90 per cent of all the ecosystem types found in Africa (it has a coastline, mountains, savanna, desert and a tropical rainforest). A Little History Archaeologists have evidence suggesting humans have inhabited Cameroon for at least 50,000 years. The earliest inhabitants of Cameroon were probably the Baka (Pygmies). The first Europeans to arrive were the Portuguese in 1472. The Portuguese explorer Fernão do Pó noticed an abundance of shrimp in the Wouri River and named it Rio dos Camarões (Portuguese for River of Prawns), the phrase from which Cameroon got its name. The German colony of Kamerun was established in 1884. It remained German until after World War I when it was split up between Britain and France. Cameroon was created in 1961 when French and British Cameroon were merged, and both languages are still spoken. Some Interesting Facts The Republic of Cameroon has a population of 15.5 million. The capital city, Yaounde, is in the centre of the country, but the port of Douala is the largest city and home to the international airport. The rainforests are one of Africa's most diverse habitats and home to pygmy tribes including the Baka, Bulu, Beti and Bagyeli. In 1990, Cameroon became the first African country to enter the quarter-final of the FIFA World Cup, with some wonderful play by the 38 year old Roger Milla. Cameroon on map of Africa. Printable version here. Visitors come to see hippos in Benoue National Park and forest deer called bongos, which have white stripes to help them evade hunters. Lake Nyos is considered the most deadly in the world as poisonous gases seep out from the volcano below. Bongo deer with its white stripes! The Cameroon Flag The National flag of Cameroon was adopted in May 1975, after Cameroon became a unitary state. It consists of three vertical strips, coloured green, red and yellow. In the middle of the red strip is a 5-pointed yellow star. The central red stripe represents unity, and the star is often referred to as ‘the star of unity’. The yellow and green colours represent the sun and forest respectively. Our Cameroon Resources
