North America Unit with Free Printables

North America Country & Flag Match Up

The kiddos will match up country cards with flag cards.  Bulldozer really enjoys memory games. I've designed this to be used as such, requiring him to read the words on the cards to identify the matches.

North America Country First Letter Sound Cards

The kiddos will mark the correct first letter of each country using glass beads.  A set of flag cards will be provided as a control if needed.

Writing Numbers Practice

I've noticed Princess and Bulldozer are forgetting how to write some of their numbers, so I thought I'd bring out these practice cards to review.  The kiddos will write the numbers on each of the cards provided.

Decimal Place Activity

The kiddos will practice making numbers all the way up to 9,999, remembering ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands place values in the set up of their numbers, and also the pronouncing of the numbers.

Addition Wheel & Clothespin Activity

The kiddos will practice their math facts, marking their answers with the correctly numbered clothespins.  Glass beads have been provided as counters if needed.  When asked about favorite activities, Princess mentioned this one.  She'll be delighted I pulled it out and put it back on the shelves.

Parts of An Eagle Book Activity

The kiddos will learn the body parts of an eagle, using the cards provided, and create their own book.  The red crayon they'll use to color in the body parts, is missing from the photo. My apologies.

North America Map Coloring Activity

The kiddos will color in their own map of North America using the Montessori colors and the control provided.

50 North America Animal Cards

As requested by Dinomite, Jason has put together 50 animal cards of North America.  There are very few if any from the United States, as he's already made 50 animal cards of the United States of America in a previous unit.  

Feel free to use both sets for a total of 100 animal cards!  Dinomite mentioned his favorite learning time activities are those that involve animal cards.

Musical Instruments of North America

The kiddos will match up the musical instruments, most likely playing a memory game to do so.  This worked very well for our South America Unit.  Bulldozer mentioned his favorite activities, besides sensory bins, water activities, and invitations to play are matching cards, that he can play memory with.

Artists and Artwork from North America

The kiddos will study the artwork of artists from North America using the cards provided.  For additional cards with artists from the United States of America, I have added cards created and used in a previous unit.

How to Draw an Eagle

Dinomite and Princess always do so well with drawing activities.  Hopefully Bulldozer will start to enjoy them soon.  The kiddos will practice drawing an eagle using the step by step cards provided.

Rubber Band Activity

I've been noticing lately that the kiddos, Princess in particular, are lacking finger strength.  When I saw this idea on one of my favorite blogs, I couldn't resist adding it to our shelves.

The kiddos will practice putting rubber bands around the block provided.  They can choose to put on as many as they'd like, as long as they take them off when they're finished.

North America Flag Pin Poking Activity

This is my favorite activity on our shelves right now.  The kiddos will use tacks to create flags of North America. I've only included country flags that are possible to create using push pins.  A control has been provided for them.

If you are interested in using this activity idea, and can't seem to find all of the colored tacks needed for flags, paint them.  Any type of enamel paint (used for glass etc.) will work beautifully.

I wish I would have known this before going to five different stores, looking for the right colored tacks.  Lol.  It would have saved me a lot of time and money!  I ended up having to paint my black tacks.
