Introduce children to the sights and sounds of Our Great Big World with this God-centered, beautifully illustrated, and engagingly written world geography curriculum. There are 90 lessons for one year of study, at a pace of 3 lessons per week.  Each lesson includes a short reading (about 15 minutes to read aloud), followed by comprehension questions from the Lesson Review Book, a globe activity, and a related mapping activity from the Altas Workbook. Additional activities vary and may include coloring pages, a read-aloud literature selection, a folktale or song, or other related activity. Once a week (or after every 3 lessons) there is a family activity suggestion. These activities range from craft projects to games. Easy-to-find craft supplies are necessary.  You will also need a globe and access to the internet with a connected device (smart phone/tablet/computer) to listen to the songs and folktales that accompany the text through a QR code (or link). The program also includes 7 recommended literature titles to introduce children to different regions of our world.

There are several components necessary for Our Great Big World. The hardcover Student Textbook, hardcover Folktales and Songs book, the softcover Answer Key and Literature Guide, and the softcover consumable student Lesson Review, Atlas Workbook, and Coloring Books. Components are available individually or sold together in a complete Curriculum Package.
