Topic Asia - stuck for idea

[grange]

Hi guys

Next week we have a world theme - each day we are looking at different continents - my continent is Asia and I have to pick activity based upon this topic

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Thanks

Hi!
Im not sure what kind of things you want to focus, or if you have any Asian families you can ask for help, but... What about introducing Asian traditional costumes? Children love to try on new things and if you could get some costumes (even adult size) they can try it on and the children can discuss how they feel.
If actual costumes are not available, what about pictures? You can have the children talk about similarities and differences compared to their "normal" clothing.

Hope it will be fun for everyone!!

How about sampling a little Asian food, maybe using chopsticks? Children who are scared to try a new food may be more likely to try something they have a part in preparing!
