Asia is a big continent to tackle in a single unit study.  

There is so much to cover.  

Perhaps this is why I've procrastinated our Asia Unit for so long.  

But at last, it is finally here with free printables and everything.

You'll note that for a few activities we focus on individual countries, but for the most part we're focusing on regions or larger concepts of Asian culture.  

This has proven to be the perfect way to introduce the kiddos to the continent as a whole.

This is what we've been up to!

Montessori-inspired Asia Unit with Free Printables

Countries of Asia Syllable Counting Activity

As with most of our continent units (exceptions being Antarctica and Australia), we've created syllable cards for each of the countries in Asia with more than one syllable.  

We do this to help the kiddos learn to pronounce the names of each country.  Breaking names down into syllables does wonders!

Sweet Treats of Asia Money Match Up

It's always fun to imagine going shopping in foreign lands, especially when it's for sweet treats.  The kiddos enjoyed counting coins for sweet treats and matching them to the money cards provided.

Parts of a Peacock

Learning about animals in Asia is so much fun.  

This time around we've learned about the parts of a peacock with this fabulous printable.  

Princess has especially enjoyed creating a Parts of a Peacock book of her own.

If you're interested in learning about the parts of other animals from Asia, you can find parts of an elephant and camel cards in The Pinay Homeschooler's Asia in a Nutshell printable pack.   This is a paid printable pack as well, but totally worth it.

Regions of Asia Flag Sorting

My kiddos love learning the flags of each country.  

To help them tackle the flags of Asia we created a sorting activity by region.  

They have thoroughly enjoyed this!

Regions of Asia Culture Sort

This activity was the perfect way to introduce the kiddos to little tidbits of cultural information about Asia, once again sorting cards by region.  

I still smile when I think about the day I presented these cards to the kiddos.  

All of them enjoyed reading through all of them so much.

Religions of Asia

At a time when religious tolerance is so important, I found it crucial to include this activity as part of our study of Asia.  

The kiddos matched up the picture cards with descriptions.  

They were so thrilled to learn more about the different religions around the world.

Foods of Asia

Bulldozer loves to learn about the different types of foods there are available on each continent.  

We weren't about to disappoint him when it came to Asia.  

Here the kiddos matched the cuisine with the country flag.

Biomes of Asia

It is amazing how diverse the terrain of Asia is.  

A unit study wouldn't be complete without studying the different biomes.  

The kiddos used these cards as simple nomenclature cards.

Montessori Map of Asia

Princess absolutely loves the Montessori maps. 

She couldn't wait to get her hands on this map of Asia.  

Sure enough she's used it regularly!  The other kiddos have used it as well.

Chopsticks Transfer

The kiddos have been just a tad obsessed with learning how to use chopsticks lately, so it only seemed natural to include an activity where they can practice.  They've definitely enjoyed it.

I'm looking forward to the time when we can study each of the different regions of Asia in more detail!
