International Playtime: Classroom Games and Dances from Around the World

The Story

The experience of performing a Caribbean dance or playing an Israeli game can be the equivalent of 'walking a mile in another's shoes.' Through International Playtime, children can begin to understand and appreciate our cultural differences. The wide presentation of world cultures in this book can be used as a springboard to other inter-disciplinary projects as well. Invite your students to enjoy dance and movement as they broaden their horizons, deepen their insights, and expand their feelings of affinity with students from around the world.
